THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, AUGUST 4, 2023 Page 11 New Report Shows Full-Size Trucks Have Highest Theft Rate More Than 85 Percent of Stolen Vehicles Recovered in 2022 DES PLAINES, IL, JULY 28, 2023 — According to analysis by the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB), the insurance industry’s association dedicated to predicting, preventing, and prosecuting insurance crime, vehicles with the highest theft rate last year were full-size pickups. These vehicles made up more than 25 percent of the thefts reported in 2022, which was a decrease from a high of 33 percent in 2021. While vehicle theft rates have been soaring since the start of the pandemic, recovery rates have also risen. More than 85 percent of passenger vehicles reported stolen in 2022 were subsequently recovered by law enforcement or other means, with 34 percent recovered within a day of the vehicle being reported stolen. “Vehicle theft is a multi-billion-dollar industry in the United States,” said David J. Glawe, President and CEO of the National Insurance Crime Bureau. “Approximately one motor vehicle is stolen every 32 seconds, which adds up to more than one million vehicles stolen last year. Vehicle theft disrupts lives, causes fi nancial hardship, and undermines community safety. Addressing this problem is not just the responsibility of law enforcement agencies; it requires a partnership between vehicle owners, community members, as well as federal, state, and local governments.” Vehicle theft rates for sedans, including Honda, Hyundai and Kia, followed those of full-size pickups, with recovery rates for Hyundais and Kias between 87 and 95 percent. Social media trends were a likely factor in their high theft rankings in 2022. “There are some commonsense steps to keep cars from being stolen. First, remove valuables from the vehicle or lock them out of sight. Next, lock the doors, roll the windows all the way up, and don't leave your keys or key fob in the car,” Glawe said. With July traditionally being the month with the highest vehicle theft rate, NICB joined with the National Highway Transportation and Safety Administration (NHTSA) on a national public awareness campaign to deter and prevent vehicle theft. In addition to common sense actions like always locking your vehicle, there are other actions that people can take to deter vehicle theft. Anti-theft devices can be installed that disable the fuel system or cut off the ignition. 7/31 Revere SUMMER LUNCH MENU August 2023 Revere Summer Lunch Program FREE meals for kids and teens upto 18 years old, at the following sites: * Beachmont School 11-1 *Hill School 11-1 *Paul Revere School 11-1 Monday-Thursday *Revere Beach Bandstand 11-1 *Sonny Meyers Park 11:30-1 *RHA Rose St 11:30-1 *RHA Adams Ct 11;30-1 *Ciarlone Park 11:30-1 *Louis Pasteur Park 11:30-1 *Costa Park 11-1 Menus subject to change and locations may be subject to close due to inclement weather and/or participation.
