“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.
[Complex crime prevention measures]
☑ Crime prevention measures for automobiles
In addition to alarm devices, use fixed devices such as steering wheel locks and wheel locks, and anti-theft equipment such as GPS tracking devices. In addition, car body covers are also effective to prevent the car model from being identified.
☑ Crime prevention measures related to parking lots
Install sensor lights, security cameras, car stop poles, etc. Also, if you use a parking lot other than your home, use a well-equipped and managed parking lot.
