- “Number of stolen vehicles” is a vehicle whose name is clear and does not include attempts, etc., so it is different from the number of recognized automobile thefts in crime statistics.
- The number of cases per 1,000 units is calculated from the statistical data issued by the Automobile Inspection and Registration Information Association, and since the statistical data is published once a year, it will be announced in the “Number of stolen vehicles by vehicle name in Reiwa 7 years” scheduled to be published around March Reiwa 8.
*In car theft, in addition to newer model cars, older model cars manufactured before 2000 AD may be stolen. - In addition to ordinary passenger cars and mini cars, crimes targeting small trucks, medium-sized trucks, and heavy trucks have also occurred.
