The Council for Criminal Justice says you — and your car — need to be on guard. Auto thefts are up more than a third in the first half of 2023.
The Council on Criminal Justice has a lot of good news for Americans but not for car owners. The council warns that drivers need to be on guard even more than usual.
CCJ has published its midyear update covering crime trends in U.S. cities. It finds that “levels of nearly all offenses are lower, or have changed little, in the first six months of 2023 compared with the same period in 2022. The most notable exception is the large increase in motor vehicle theft.” Nearly all.Auto theft up more than a third The council says that car thefts were 33.5% higher in the first six months of 2023 than during the same period in 2022.
Why? “It is likely that much of this increase is the result of thefts of Kia and Hyundai models, but rates were already trending upward before these vehicles became popular targets,” the report says.
