The most stolen cars in Moscow 2014

For any car owner, the worst thing you can dream of is the theft of his vehicle. Every insurance company keeps disappointing statistics on car thefts. However, if we analyze the statistics of different companies, then all of them will differ significantly from each other. This is due to the fact that each company has its own contingent of customers. In addition, uninsured cars, for example, old Zhiguli, which will cost less than CASCO registration on them, do not fall into the ratings.

Let's try to get acquainted with different ratings in order to reproduce more or less accurate statistics of thefts in Moscow in 2013-2014, and to determine which models are most popular with thieves.

Obviously, the most accurate rating is compiled on the basis of complaints to the police, because the police are obliged to look for thieves, regardless of whether the car is insured or not. True, the police cannot guarantee you that the car will be found, and no one will pay you monetary compensation in case of theft.

According to consolidated data for Russia for 2013, a little more than 89 vehicle thefts were committed in the country, of which about 12 were in Moscow. According to the statistics of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the following models are most often stolen in Moscow:

• WHA;
• Mazda;
• Toyota;
• Mitsubishi;
• GAS;
• Nissan;
• Honda;
• Hyundai;
• BMW;
• Land Rover.

By the way, this picture has remained unchanged for several years. Last year, 1200 VAZs were stolen, Mazda - 1020, Toyota - 705. As you can see, thieves prefer two types of cars:

• the most common - because they can be easily transferred to another region or to a CIS country and sold;
• the most reliable - Toyota and Mazda are famous among our drivers because of their Japanese reliability.

The police also have statistics on the most “hijacking-prone” areas of Moscow;

• Southern District;
• Oriental;
• Northeast.

Residents of these areas need to take care to protect their vehicles from theft. Whereas in the Center, in the North and North-West of Moscow, the smallest number of hijackings was recorded.

Statistics are also compiled on the probability of car theft depending on its age. So, most often in Moscow, and in Russia as a whole, cars older than three years are stolen, they account for 60 percent of all such cases. Two-year-old cars were stolen 15 percent of the time, and new cars less than a year old accounted for about 5 percent of thefts.

Curious and very instructive for careless drivers can be information about the most common places for car theft:

• 70% of all thefts occur in unguarded parking lots in residential areas;
• 16% - theft from parking lots near supermarkets and shopping centers;
• 7% - thefts at night from parking lots near bars and restaurants;
• 7% - hijackings committed near private country houses from unguarded parking lots.

This information was compiled on the basis of calls to the police, and from it you can draw simple conclusions about where it is undesirable to leave the car and what measures to take to protect against theft.

insurance company statistics

Insurance companies are also interested in compiling accurate theft statistics. Based on this information, they assign coefficients to each model, which affect the cost of obtaining CASCO insurance.

It makes no sense to give all the ratings, because they depend on the clients the insurance company is oriented towards. The absolute leaders in theft statistics in almost all insurance companies are:

• Mazda 3 and 6;
• Toyota Camry and Corolla;
• Lada Prioru.

Mitsubishi Lancer, Honda Civic, Peugeot 407 are also highly valued by car criminals. Among the statistics of companies working with the premium class, there are names:

• Mercedes GL-class;
• Lexus LS;
• Toyota Highlander;
• Mazda CX7.

These lists can be continued almost indefinitely. However, do not be upset if your car is in one of these ratings. If you take all security measures, then no thief will be able to steal it.
