Crime stats

Car crime has decreased in recent years as reported by the Home Office in their annual British Crime Survey (BCS). This has been mostly attributed to improved cars security features as technology has advanced and the efforts of the police, insurers and government.

However, car crime is still a major issue in the UK and impacts hundreds of thousands of people each year. For starters:

  • Vehicle crime accounts for over 30% of all crime in Britain
  • Costs the UK at least £3.5 billion a year
  • 2005: 199,531 vehicle thefts - 1 stolen every 3 minutes!
  • 47% of stolen vehicles are not recovered (over 93K)
  • 2005: Were over 1.7M vehicle related crimes
  • Estimated average cost of vehicle theft is £4,138
  • For all the stats, please refer to the Home Office site.
