Six California metro areas make the top ten for highest rates of car theft, report says
Goes up, Bakersfield residents — you may want to dual check that your car doors are locked.
With more than 7,000 car thefts in 2016, the metropolitan area had the highest rate of vehicle thefts in California, according to a National Insurance Crime Bureau report released Thursday. Bakersfield ranked third in the nation after Albuquerque, which took the No. One spot, and Pueblo, Colo.
The annual Hot Catches sight of report analyzes vehicle theft data from the National Crime Information Center for each of the nation’s densely populated areas.
The ranking takes population into account, which is why an area such as Billings, Mont., with eight hundred seventy seven thefts, can place much higher than Los Angeles, which had 60,670 thefts.
Other California metro areas in the top ten include Modesto, Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario, Merced, San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward and Fresno.
While preliminary data display that two thousand sixteen car thefts across the nation were up 6.6% from 707,758 thefts in 2015, the number has drastically decreased from 1991, when there were a record 1.7 million thefts.
What’s the best way to prevent car theft, according to the report? Common sense. The insurance bureau found that from two thousand thirteen to 2015, more than 140,000 vehicles were stolen with the keys left inwards.
Areas with highest vehicle theft rates in 2016:
- Albuquerque, N.M.
- Pueblo, Colo.
- Bakersfield
- Modesto, Calif.
- Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario
- Anchorage, Alaska
- Merced, Calif.
- San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward
- Fresno
- Billings, Mont.
