Car theft is a very common crime category. The purpose and commission is the subsequent resale of cars with changed unit numbers, dismantling or return to the owner for a fee.
The theft statistics for 2018 are in line with the previous periods in terms of their main indicators.
How many cars were stolen in 2018?
| A place | Brand | Number of hijackings |
| 1 | Hyundai solaris | 755 |
| 2 | Kia rio | 544 |
| 3 | Ford focus | 344 |
| 4 | Toyota Camry | 433 |
| 5 | Toyota Corolla | 355 |
| 6 | Toyota Land Cruiser | 309 |
| 7 | Renault Logan | 238 |
| 8 | Mazda 3 | 211 |
| 9 | Toyota RAV4 | 195 |
| 10 | Mazda 6 | 173 |
| 11 | Renault Duster | 164 |

Theft statistics for 2019 in Russia includes the total number of such crimes, as well as a breakdown by model. In total, 13,700 vehicles were stolen last year. Most of these crimes are committed against passenger cars.
The statistics of thefts in Russia show a steady increase in such acts. If for the entire 2016 more than 11,000 cars were stolen, and in the 1st quarter of last year, about 4000 of these crimes were committed, then in 2019 4300 cars have already been stolen.
The increase in the number of cars inevitably leads to an increase in theft. Experts are of the opinion that the market for used auto parts contains a significant segment of spare parts from stolen cars. 2017 shows that the percentage of crimes solved is small. According to the police, about 30% of the total number of crimes have been solved. Accordingly, only every second car is returned to the owners.
Traffic police statistics allows you to separate the so-called domestic crimes from those committed with mercenary whole. Most of the crimes solved are related to domestic thefts. This means that the car is hijacked in order to "drive" or drive to a particular place. Such acts are typical for small towns. As a rule, criminals simply abandon stolen cars after they become unnecessary.
And for large cities, especially for Moscow and St. Petersburg, it is the mercenary crimes that are characteristic. And no more than 20% of them are revealed. This is due to the presence of a criminal infrastructure, thanks to which it is possible to quickly interrupt license plates and produce forged documents for the car.
Therefore, only a small part of the cars stolen in Moscow or in the Moscow region can be found.
Statistics for various models
Model theft statistics clearly demonstrate the preferences of criminals. According to official figures from the police and insurance companies, the structure of such crimes is as follows:
- Domestic VAZ cars are the most popular among the hijackers. They are quickly disassembled, adding to the used auto parts market. The high percentage is also explained by the relative ease of theft. Such cars are rarely equipped with expensive reliable security systems. AND standard alarms not difficult for experienced hijackers;
- In second place are cars tOYOTA brands ... They are generally highly valued by car enthusiasts, so the statistics of thefts by brands in 2017 puts them in second place. I must say that the statistics of thefts in Russia by model shows this situation for several years;
- Hyundai. For several years the thefts of cars of this brand have increased several times. At the same time, sales have grown. Accordingly, interest in these machines has grown;
- KIA. Products this manufacturer is in fourth place and this situation has been observed since 2015.
The smallest number of thefts was committed in relation to HONDA vehicles. At the same time, the difference in the number of crimes is calculated in dozens of facts. Therefore, a shift in positions can occur at any time.
The exceptions are VAZ and TOYOTA cars. They are being hijacked by the thousands. Therefore, it is they who occupy the leading positions and this situation will continue in the future.
Thefts in Moscow and St. Petersburg
The Moscow hijackers have slightly different priorities than in Russia as a whole. Over the past period of the year, more than a thousand thefts have been registered. In this case, crimes are committed against foreign cars.
Premium cars are stolen most often in Moscow and St. Petersburg. The most frequent crimes are committed against Hyundai Solaris and Kia Rio. Meanwhile, a few years ago, the most stolen cars were Ford Focus.
The statistics of thefts in St. Petersburg in 2019 are similar to those in the capital. The number of such crimes was about 700 cars in the 1st quarter of 2017.
Theft trend is planned in 2019 budget carssuch as Solaris and Rio.

1. Always check if the car is closed. 50% of stolen vehicles were not closed or set to burglar alarms.
2. Don't forget your keys in the car. 13% of stolen vehicles had car keys.
3. Never hide the second set of keys in the car. The hijackers know all the secret places where the key can be hidden.
4. Park your car in a well-lit area. More than half of all car thefts occur at night. Most often, thefts occur in poorly lit areas.
5. Try to leave your car in crowded places. Hijackers most often steal cars in poorly populated areas.
6. Label your car windows. As a rule, hijackers try not to get involved with cars with markings on the glass.
7. In the parking lot near shopping centers, arm the car without using a radio signal. Close the car with the key. This will prevent the interception of the alarm signal by setting the vehicle to security.
8. Never leave a car with a running engine unattended. A large proportion of thefts occur at gas stations, near ATMs or in the morning at home when the car is heated remotely.

10. Do not leave valuables in the vehicle. Leaving some valuable things makes your car more desirable for thieves.

How many and what brands of cars were stolen in Moscow in 2019, as well as what measures are taken by government agencies to reduce crime, read on.
By whom
Statistics on the number of thefts in the capital, as in other regions, are kept by special agencies based on data provided by the following organizations:
- traffic police. Any hijacking is recorded in the traffic police department, since not only the investigating authorities, but also the employees of this organization go to the crime scene. According to the traffic police data, it is possible to draw up a real and most correct picture of the crimes committed in the field of road traffic;
- investigative committeewho is investigating the theft road transport and search for intruders;
- insurance companies. If the car is insured against theft, then the data on the paid compensation and its amount are transferred to a single base... Such information is used not only for the internal needs of insurance organizations, but also to determine the cost of the policy. voluntary insurance for a particular model of road transport;
- companies specializing in the production security systems different levels.
To obtain more accurate information about the operation of a particular protective system, as well as to increase the level of safety anti-theft complex special employees collect and process information about the number of thefts and the protection measures taken by the car owner.
Any citizen can get acquainted with the statistical data. All information is available both on official Internet resources, for example, on the website of the traffic police for the Moscow region, and on third-party resources, for example, on the specialized website Ugona.net.
Statistics of the most stolen car models in Moscow in 2019
The traffic police website has published statistics on vehicle theft in Moscow for January - May 2019. What car brands are most in demand?
The summary data is presented in the table:
| Make and model vehicle | The number of thefts in Moscow in January - May 2019 |
| Mazda 3 | 157 |
| Kia rio | 118 |
| Hundai Solaris | 110 |
| Ford focus | 101 |
| Range Rover evoque | 88 |
| Toyota: | |
| Corolla | 74 |
| Camry | 65 |
| Land cruiser 200 | 57 |
| Honda civic | 62 |
| Mitsubishi lancer | 61 |
| Nissan teana | 55 |
| Land rover discovery | 52 |

| Nissan x-trail | 37 |
| Kia ceed | 29 |
| Chevrolet lacetti | 25 |
| Suzuki grand vitara | 24 |
| Renault Logan | 24 |
| Chevrolet cruze | 21 |
Thus, the most stolen cars are the most common brands among car owners in the region: Mazda, Hyundai and Kia.
This is due to the fact that most vehicles are stolen by malefactors for the purpose of further parsing for parts, and these vehicles require a large number of spare units or small parts.
Cars can also be stolen for the purpose of resale (as a rule, such cases occur after the receipt of an order for a certain model) or in order to obtain a ransom for the return of a car (this happens extremely rarely).
For the purpose of sale, the most expensive models of cars are stolen, and with the aim of obtaining a ransom, cars that are more accessible for committing a crime.
According to statistics, approximately 40% of the stolen vehicles are found and returned to their owners in proper condition.
To prevent theft and quick search experts recommend installing car theft protection in the form of a complex alarm, GPS beacon or other mechanical devices.
If we consider the statistics for the districts of the capital Russian Federation, then:
- the largest number of crimes related to theft of vehicles occurs in the Southern District;
- the second place in the ranking is occupied by the Eastern District;
- in third place was the Northern District of Moscow.
In other districts, the number of thefts of motor vehicles recorded by law enforcement agencies is approximately equal.
How has it changed compared to 2015-16
Compared to previous years (2015, 2019), the number of vehicle thefts has significantly decreased. According to the traffic police, the crime rates in this area are declining by 7% - 11% every year.
Along with the reduction in the number of car thefts, the preferences of attackers are also changing.
In 2015, the most popular car among kidnappers was Lada (more than 31% of the total number of vehicle thefts). The number of thefts in January - May 2015 amounted to more than 250 pieces.
Great demand for domestic cars was called:
- the need to purchase spare parts after a breakdown or accident;
- lack of a reliable anti-theft system.
As a rule, car owners of Lada cars install the simplest alarm system, the signal from which can be easily intercepted using special devices.
In 2019, Lada cars are not in demand.
The statistics of theft of vehicles of the domestic auto industry are as follows:
| Lada Priora | 51 pieces | 13th place in the ranking at the beginning of 2019 |
| VAZ 211440 | 37 pieces | 20th place |
| Priora with a hatchback body | 28 pieces | 23rd place |
| Lada Largus | 25 pieces | 26th place |
| VAZ 2107 | 22 pieces | 32nd place |
In the second place in terms of the number of thefts in 2015 - 2019 were Toyota cars (approximately 16% of the total number of stolen vehicles).
First of all, interest in the Japanese car industry is associated with a large number of sales ( high quality at a relatively low cost).
As the price of Corolla and Camry models increased, demand dropped significantly, which led to a decrease in the stealing rate. In 2019, the Toyota models in question are ranked 6th and 7th respectively.
The leaders of the 2019 ranking Mazda 3, Kia Rio and Hundai Solaris in previous periods occupied 6, 4 and 3 lines in the statistics. The significant increase in demand for these models of road transport is associated with an increase in the number of sales in 2019 - 2019.
The least popular among car thieves, both in previous periods and at present, are cars:
Measures taken by the state to reduce theft
Various measures are being taken to reduce the number of thefts in the Russian Federation. First of all, the current legislation is being improved.
Car theft under article 158 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation is punishable by a significant fine, compulsory labor or imprisonment.
The penalty depends on many different factors:
- hijacker. If the crime is committed by a group of persons, then the degree of responsibility will be higher. If the thief is repeatedly caught committing theft, then the court applies a more severe punishment;
- stolen car. The size of the punishment is also influenced by the value of the stolen movable property;
- method of theft. If the vehicle is stolen from the garage, then the culprit will also be held liable for illegal entry into private property.
Currently, amendments are being made to (taking possession of a vehicle without the purpose of theft). main feature of this article is to interpret the concept of "no purpose of theft."
Before the amendments were made, the attacker who argued that he was not going to steal the car, and for example, planned only to ride, got off with a suspended sentence and a small fine.
After making changes, this concept will be concretized and no hijacker will be able to avoid real responsibility for the offense.
Regional authorities are also concerned about the safety of personal vehicles.
The main measures taken at the local level:
- creation of guarded parking lots in the areas of the settlement;
- conducting preventive conversations with car owners about measures to protect personal movable property;
- constant patrolling of streets, including with the use of means of photo or video fixation.
However, no one can take care of car protection better than its owner.
Currently, companies produce many different anti-theft systems, which are able not only to notify the car owner about unauthorized access to the car, but also to prevent the actions of an intruder, for example, by independently blocking one or another vehicle system.
In addition to anti-theft systems, the car owner is advised to additionally install a GPS beacon, which will allow him to find the car in the shortest possible time after theft.
A small device powered by autonomous batteries constantly or at a certain time sends a message to the owner of the vehicle with the coordinates of the location of the vehicle.
It is quite difficult for hijackers to find and turn off a beacon in a car, since it is impossible to determine in advance the time of signaling (if the beacon is not active, then it is in complete silence).
Besides installation different systems safety car owners are recommended:
- do not leave the vehicle unattended at night. At night, it is more expedient to store the car in the garage or in a paid parking lot, where security is on duty;
- do not leave valuable things in the car that could provoke a criminal to steal;
- close windows and block doors even if the driver leaves the vehicle for a few minutes.
The owner of any vehicle sets himself the task of keeping the car, preventing theft of the car. But there have always been problems and still exist, although there is a tendency to reduce the number of stolen goods. The rating of the most stolen cars in Moscow, which we provide, will help car owners have an idea of \u200b\u200bthe statistics of stolen cars in the capital for the previous year and the beginning of this year.
