VEHICLE THEFTS NATIONWIDE SURPASS ONE MILLION FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 2008
Law enforcement agencies and communities across the United States continue to be plagued by record and near-record levels of vehicular crime as monthly theft totals nationwide consistently exceeded 75,000 in 2022.
According to a new analysis conducted by the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB), the insurance industry’s association dedicated to predicting, preventing, and prosecuting insurance crime, more than 1 million vehicles were stolen last year, marking a 7% increase over 2021.
Vehicle theft data, provided by the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) and analyzed by NICB, indicates over 250,000 thefts were reported in the fourth quarter of 2022 alone. California and Texas led the nation with the most reported stolen vehicles in 2022. Illinois had the largest increase of any top 10 states, with thefts increasing by an estimated 35% between 2021 and 2022. Similarly, vehicle thefts increased by 31% in Washington state over the same period. Source
Follow the Money
Beyond the emotional stress and disruption to your daily and work related activities, there are significant financial costs that you may incur if your vehicle is stolen.
According to the FBI, although 75% of respondents know that there are costs associated with vehicle theft in addition to paying the insurance deductible and the cost of replacing the vehicle that are not covered by insurance, virtually none knew that there are additional costs such as insurance premium increases, the cost of time spent dealing with police, vehicle rental costs, and the cost of time off from work.

The Types of Locations at Highest Risk
Living in urban and higher crime areas has an impact on your risk of being a victim of auto theft. Port and border cities continue to be boomtowns for the auto theft business. Of the top 25 metro areas in the nation for vehicle theft, nearly half are ports or communities with easy access to borders (*National Insurance Crime Bureau, or NICB). The NICB study compares the auto theft rates per 100,000 population in 380 metro areas.
City-by-city differences in auto buying habits are reflected in the preferences of auto thieves. For example, American vehicles tend to be the auto thief’s vehicles of choice in Detroit and Chicago; pickups are popular in Albuquerque, Phoenix and Houston; and Japanese models lead the most commonly stolen list in Los Angeles.
Insurance Discounts that Matter
We all like to save money, and installing an Apex Protect GPS unit on your vehicle, is likely to get you a discount on your vehicle insurance.
According to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, eleven states: Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Pennsylvania, Rode Island, and Texas have regulations that require insurers to provide vehicle owners with discounts on the base rates for comprehensive insurance for vehicle locating and monitoring GPS devices. In the majority of other states, many insurers offer these discounts or are encouraged to offer them. When you notify your auto insurance company, be sure to tell your agent that you have a GPS Class I Monitoring Device that assists police with stolen vehicle recovery. Make sure they know that, in the event of a theft, your device comes with a 24/7/365 toll free stolen vehicle recovery assistant that will communicate directly with police to ensure rapid recovery of your stolen vehicle.
