Vehicle theft is the nation's
number one property crime, with 1.2 million vehicles stolen, costing an
estimated $8.2 billion, according to the most recent FBI Uniform Crime
Reports (ca 2001). What's even more disconcerting is the fact that the
vehicle recovery rate has dropped substantially from about 84% in early
1990 to a mere 62% in 2001*.
If law enforcement is unable to recapture your assets for you, who will?
For the second year in a row, the conjoined municipalities of Phoenix/Mesa,
AZ have the highest rate of stolen vehicles in the country. Amongst other
crime deterrent measures, the City of Phoenix Police Department suggests,
"...installing a tracking device in your vehicle to help recover
it if it is stolen**".
