Car thieves do to slow down, to steal new cars

The total number of car thefts decreased in the past half year, but is that a reason for a party?

The figures for the first half of 2014 lie of course not. There were 5.492 cars with unsolicited owner, 254 less than in the same period of 2013. A decrease of 4.4 percent, according to the statistics of the Foundation Approach and vehicle crime. They praise especially the Volkswagen group, that the police will turn on if a stolen car in the garage attached to the diagnosis device is linked.

That, indeed, seems to be working, because the number of stolen Waves increased by almost 25 percent, while this VW for many years the ‘holy grail’ among car thieves. In addition, it calls the AVc to the efforts of lokauto by the police and improved security systems, such as GPS, as the reason for the ongoing decline.

There is, of course, a comment from a post, because there were still 5.492 cars nicked in half a years time, around 30 per day. Also took the theft of young cars (0-4 years old) already with 9 percent, as there were 177 more stolen. As a result, the financial damage compared to 2013 equal. And that is not the cars that according to the reasoning of the AVc should benefit from a better alarm or tracking system?
