So it turns out car thefts are going up? And is it because the cars are easier to steal? Well it turns out, it kinda is.

Look at this it’s a graph of from 1990 to last year. It’s been coming down but then what’s happened in the last 5 or 6 years? It’s increased?
So what’s happened? Are new cars easier to steal? Or is something else going on?

I’m no detective, but there could be a number of reasons for that recent uptick in car thefts. Covid definitely hasn’t helped when a considerable amount of people began working from home leaving their cars parked for days and weeks on end without using them. Thieves were able to pick and choose their targets like they were shopping in a supermarket.

Due to new car shortages, many used cars have also seen a dramatic increase in value over the last 18 months, making them hugely popular among criminals looking to make a fast buck.
Whilst increased security with modern systems caused the initial drop in thefts, could it [now] be making modern cars easier to steal?
