older cars (those aged 12-14 years old) are at the highest risk of being stolen

cars aged between 11-15 year account for 41% of all cars stolen

new cars are at least risk of being stolen – those aged 0-3 years old account for only 13% of stolen car

sophisticated security measures now fitted as standard to new cars mean some criminals are turning to other methods to steal vehicles (for example taking the key )

theft from a vehicle is the largest category of vehicle theft according to the British Crime Survey 2003/04, accounting for 60% of all vehicle-related theft.

the average value of possessions stolen from vehicles is estimated at Ł80, while the average cost of a stolen vehicle is Ł900.

regardless of the monetary loss victims suffer distress, inconvenience, and an increased fear of crime.

the British Crime Survey also found that around 40% of vehicle crimes occur on the street outside the home.

I didn’t realise it was as bad as they said, I actually thought car crime was reducing

The helicopter is stored relatively close to me and it does get around a bit though …
