The total number of vehicles stolen last year came out at 29 218, for the first time in years among the 30,000. ” A great milestone, “said AVc director Titus Fisher.
In particular, the decline in the number of stolen cars young (-14 percent), according AVc striking. In part, this can be explained by the fact that in younger be mounted cars better alarm systems. This makes it harder for car thieves to open them unnoticed.
