Car theft was in decline for decades, but it’s been creeping back up. There were around 773,139 thefts in the U.S. in 2017. Albuquerque, N.M., claimed the #1 spot for most thefts relative to population size, while Honda Civics and Accords were the top targets for thieves.
My son was recently a victim of this crime. Someone tried to steal his 1994 Olds Cutlass Ciera from his workplace - a busy parking lot. All they managed to do was screw up his ignition switch which cost $600 to fix!
