On June 11, 2014, the owner of KIA CEED parked his car near his home in an unguarded parking lot. As usual, he closed the doors, armed and went home. In the morning, when I returned to the car, I found it in a deplorable state, but fortunately, in the same place where I left it. The car was equipped with a Super Agent security and anti-theft system with the implementation of hidden locks of the 3rd generation, performed by the specialists of Ugona.net-Paveletskaya. The security system was in a silent mode of protection, so there was no sound of a siren that could frighten off the hijackers or attract eyewitnesses. Unfortunately, the phone of the owner of the car was dead, and he did not receive alarm notifications during the assassination attempt. But since the Super Agent has a cloud service, we can easily recreate the picture of what happened at that point in time.
From 2:56 am to 3:54 am, which is about an hour, the car was subjected to a long attempt at theft. First, the hijackers got into the car, presumably through back door, then after an unsuccessful attempt to start the engine, they tried to open the hood to bypass additional locks engine. After many attempts at mechanical break-in (which took about 40 minutes), the search for blocked engine circuits ended in failure. An hour later, the attackers abandoned the ruined car, taking with them some elements of the car, incl. battery.
Kia Ceed owner comment:
At 22:00 put the car on a free parking space near the house. To my evil, to the delight of the kidnappers, at night the phone sat down on the charge. Accordingly, I did not hear all the SMS and calls.
In the morning at 9:00, turning on the phone, I was horrified to see what was happening to the car at night, and ran to it. The car was opened and damaged. The front doors were open, the rear right glass was half open. They opened the car neatly without scratches, wires were sticking out from under the steering wheel, they probably wanted to steal it, but since it didn't work out because of the security system, they decided to steal it in front of the car. The bumper was torn apart, the hood, all the optics, the battery, the filter were taken away, all the wires were cut, and all sorts of other things. The only good news is that it didn't work out.
Once again, the effective approach to protection in the Ugona.net service pays off. In addition to the use of reliable anti-theft equipment, the implementation of engine blocking methods plays an important role. Let us recall that the services of Hijacking do not use third and fourth generation locks, while ordinary service centers widely use first and second generation locks. An integrated approach to protection and the use of alternative methods of warning are of great importance. We recommend equipping your car with efficient sound signals for security systems and use additional telephone numbers for messaging, in addition to the control telephone.

Where are these statistics kept?
All information on theft auto vehicle, which is constantly being processed by law enforcement agencies and services of the State Traffic Inspectorate of Moscow, belongs to a specially created database.
There is, as well as - criminal liability in the form of a fine or partial and complete imprisonment for a certain period (up to a maximum of 15 years).
It is statistics that help to catch criminals, prevent thefts, in a timely manner influencing the car thieves when trying to steal a car or take measures on an anti-theft system installed in cars in a hidden way.
It should be noted that any car owner or who wants to buy a used car can get acquainted with the statistics data and even see if the car being sold is listed as stolen. In Moscow, it is easy to do on the website of the traffic police department.
In addition, such information is also available on partner sites with which government agencies work closely. For example, the site "Ugona.net".
MIA authorities in Moscow, insurance companies and points of reception of maintenance - all of them are connected to a single database of statistical data on car thefts.
Therefore, it is not difficult to check the status of a stolen car now, it is more difficult to find and return it to the owner.
The most hijacked brands in Moscow in 2018
Of course, as in any chronicle, statistics for the first 5 calendar months of 2018 show which cars are the most stolen.
There was a tendency that the more a particular car is in demand among buyers, the more often cases of theft occur for this brand.
The impression is that thieves have developed their own system for tracking the sales market of certain car brands and adjust their trade to the consumer.
During the period under review, one can safely determine the record first and second places, as well as the third, which are occupied by certain brands of cars that are often stolen by criminals:
Let's take a closer look at the main statistics for Moscow for the period from January to May 2018, which is reflected in a special summary table with all the characteristics of the actions of the hijackers in relation to a particular brand of vehicle:
| Name car brand |
The number of thefts in the first five months of 2018, pcs. | The nature of thefts, general popularity among thieves |
| Mazda 3 | 157 | Over the past 2018, this car brand was stolen 181 times in Moscow. The popularity among hijackers is very high. |
| Kia rio | 118 | Compared to the increasing purchasing power, as well as high sales of this car brand in the first 5 months of 2018, the number of their thefts is also growing (7.460% were sold new kia Rio and stolen - 118 pcs.). |
| Hundai Solaris | 110 | Very popular with thieves. |
| Ford focus | 101 | Just 2 years ago, he was a frequent guest in the top three stolen cars, but recently, for the first time, he is not included in the top three most stolen cars. Thefts have decreased. |
| Range rover Evoque | 88 | Popular with hijackers. |
| Toyota Corolla | 74 | Thefts have decreased in comparison with a few years earlier, when this car brand was consistently in the top of the most stolen for several years. Its sales, in principle, also decreased. |
| Toyota Camry | 65 | Theft has decreased, although hijackers still continue to pay attention to her. |
| Honda civic | 62 | The popularity does not subside this year either. |
| Mitsubishi lancer | 61 | Almost on a par with the previous Japanese women, the popularity rating among the hijackers is still holding, although its sales have sharply declined in recent years. |
| Toyota Land Cruiser 200 | 57 | The last place in the 10 most stolen car brands in Moscow, and therefore is also considered popular among the hijackers. Its spare parts are very high quality and expensive. |
| Nissan teana | 55 | Average popularity with the hijacker. |
| Land rover discovery | 52 | Thieves are also showing interest in the British brand. |
| Lada Priora (VAZ-217030) |
51 | Previously, it was very often subjected to thefts, today the interest of the underworld in this brand has dropped sharply. |
| Mazda 6 | 49 | Steadily continue to steal this brand in approximately the same amount from year to year. |
| Bmw x5 | 41 | A few years ago, German brands were simply the leaders of theft, today interest in them has dwindled. |
| Toyota Rav4 | 40 | The popularity level of criminal interest in this car is below average. |
| Land rover range rover | 38 | Once a super popular theft contender, this SUV is now out of criminal interests. |
| Daewoo nexia | 37 | |
| Nissan x-trail | 37 | The interest of the hijackers is below average. |
| VAZ-211440 | 32 | The interest of the hijackers is below average. |
| Kia ceed | 29 | The interest of the hijackers is below average. |
| Kia sportage | 28 | The interest of the hijackers is below average. |
| Priora Hatchback | 28 | The interest of the hijackers is below average. |
| Range rover sport | 27 | The interest of the hijackers is below average. |

| Lada Largus | 25 | The interest of the hijackers is below average. |
| Suzuki grand vitara | 24 | The interest of the hijackers is below average. |
| Subaru forester | 24 | |
| Honda accord | 24 | Thefts are infrequent, but still the criminal interest in these brands of cars remains. |
| Renault Logan | 24 | Thefts are infrequent, but still the criminal interest in these brands of cars remains. |
| Infiniti FX37 | 24 | Thefts are infrequent, but still the criminal interest in these brands of cars remains. |
| VAZ-2107 | 22 | Thefts are infrequent, but still the criminal interest in these brands of cars remains. |
| Chevrolet cruze | 21 | Thefts are infrequent, but still the criminal interest in these brands of cars remains. |
According to statistics, hijackers do not always sell stolen cars, in 65% of all recorded cases they are sold on the black market simply in the form of spare parts. For this, the machines, of course, are disassembled beforehand.
From the first 10 stolen cars it is already clear that they do not include brands domestic producers, whereas recently - literally back in 2018 - a VAZ was often hijacked in Moscow.
This is due to the fact that the number of Russian car brands has significantly decreased in the capital, and the townspeople now give special preference to korean manufacturer and Japanese brands.
How the number has changed compared to 2018
If we consider the data of Moscow statistics for January-May 2018 and compare with the same period in 2018, it will become clear that recently the frequency of theft and theft of cars has decreased by 11%.
Usually at such a rate, the decline in crime from year to year corresponds to the norm. So, during these months they managed to hijack 3.523% in Moscow, of which 1.521% were found through the efforts of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Of the time of day preferences given to thieves, night time also comes first, as it was last year. At the beginning of 2018, 52% were hijacked at night, and 13% in the daytime.
At the same time, in the evening, 5% of illegal cases occurred in the evening, and 4% - in the morning. 26% are those precedents in which it was not possible to establish the daily time of theft.
Statistics always help not only the work of the State Traffic Inspectorate and the Ministry of Internal Affairs to find stolen goods, but also significantly help car owners to be more vigilant, supply their cars with all kinds of secret anti-theft devices and take other precautions to avoid theft of their car.
If you try to locate such big city, like Moscow, where hijackers most often hunt, then, suppose for the first 5 months of 2018, the picture will look like this:
As you can see, there is not so much difference between the digital indicators reflecting the realities of car owners affected by the activity of vehicle thieves.
In general, we can say with confidence that almost a gang is operating all over Moscow, systematically and methodically continuing to steal cars.
And this still does not include cases of theft of parts, spare parts, wheels, interior fittings and equipment and other elements of vehicles.
In 2018, a total of 39,270 cases of car theft were recorded from the total number of registered passenger cars at that time (40.3 million cars throughout the Russian Federation).
We can say that both last year and this year, in practice, 1 car per thousand not stolen cars is hijacked.
What is being done by the state to reduce car thefts
On the part of the state, attempts are being made, first of all, to influence the captured hijackers at the legislative level.
As a result, today it is already in effect, where it is recognized as not entirely correct.
It turns out that in relation to part 1 of paragraph "b" and other parts of the legislative act, inaccurate formulations were adopted, which literally tie the hands of the proceedings and do not allow them to punish the guilty party to the fullest extent possible.
Judge for yourself, what can the wording mean - "hijacking without an explicit purpose of theft"? You can interpret this concept as you please.
However, now Russian lawmakers intend to put an end to this confusion, amend the law so that the hijacker pays a fine and, in addition, served time in prison.
There are some brands of cars where there is no technical
does not help and the thief still guesses how to hack it.
However, there are other types of protections that are suitable for almost any car and it is not so easy to crack them, especially if such secrets are still installed in several hidden places of the car detailing.
The state also comes to the rescue here, and, moreover, contributes to the security system of cars not only in Russia, but also in other several countries. When new models of machines are released, factory locks of a mechanical or electronic type are already provided for.
Security personal car can be a real headache for the driver. The statistics of thefts can come to his aid. Owners of the most stolen cars in Russia should consider increasing the level of protection of their vehicle.
The ranking of the most stolen cars shows which model is popular with the hijackers and which cars are least protected from penetration. Also from it we can conclude about the carelessness of the owners of certain cars. In most cases, preventing theft is not so difficult - you just need to install anti-theft system, which costs less than CASCO for this car.
Drivers using standard protection are at risk. Most hijackers stop attempting to enter a vehicle when faced with anti-theft complex, even if it is a car attractive to a criminal. Most likely, attackers will be interested in cheaper, but also more "hijacked" machines.
Speaking about the statistics of car theft, it should be borne in mind that there is no single method of collecting information for it. There are 3 main sources for ranking theft:
- State Inspection Statistics road traffic (Traffic police). Perhaps the most reliable source. The overwhelming majority of drivers in one way or another contact the police if their car is stolen.
- Statistics on thefts from companies providing services for the installation of security systems. They are interested in information on the ratio of the number of stolen vehicles equipped with security systems, and the number unsuccessful attempts hijack them. Such data rather give an idea of \u200b\u200bwhat security complexes most effective.
- Rating of car thefts from insurance companies that have a vested interest in spending as little as possible on insurance payments... In this regard, for the most stolen cars, an increased cost of insurance and special conditions in the insurance contract are provided. For insurers, different circumstances of the crime matter: whether the car was equipped with a security system, where and when it was broken into. Of course, the most representative statistics will be the statistics of theft of the largest insurance companies at the expense of a large number of clients.
The most stolen car brands
New car models are rarely released and cybercriminals' preferences change gradually, so a list of the most stolen cars from 2016 can help you understand the trend of 2018 or even 2019.
The top most stolen cars in Russia in 2016 are as follows:
- Lada - 31% of the total number of thefts, only about 8.5 thousand cars of this brand were stolen.
- Toyota - 16%.
- Hyundai - 7%.
- Kia - 6%.
- Nissan - 5%.
- Mazda - 4%.
- Renault - 4%.
- Ford - 4%
- Mitsubishi - 3%.
- Honda - 3%.
- BMW - 3%.
- Mercedes - 3%.
- Volkswagen - 2%
- Chevrolet - 2%
- Lexus - 2%.
- Land Rover - 2%
- Audi - 2%.
- Daewoo - 1%.
- Infinity - 1%.
- Gas - 1%.
Lada cars top the national rating of theft year after year. Firstly, there are simply the most of them in Russia, and secondly, the criminals managed to study well the standard protection system of AvtoVAZ products, and thirdly, the owners of some of these models have modest incomes, which do not allow them to purchase expensive and effective alarms that can protect against intruders. ...
In 2014 and 2015, by the way, Lada and Toyota were also in the lead. By 2016, the statistics of thefts for kia cars and Hyundai. If we talk about in which regions most of all cars are stolen in Russia, then no surprises are foreseen here - Moscow and St. Petersburg are in the lead.
The most stolen premium cars
The list of the most stolen premium cars in Russia in 2017 is as follows:
- Lexus LX - 174 pcs.
- Mercedes E-Class - 155 pcs.
- BMW X5 - 150 pcs.
- BMW 5 - 139 pcs.
- Mercedes S-Class - 137 pcs.
- Land Rover Rang Rover - 118 pcs.
- Lexus RX - 109 pcs.
- BMW 3 - 101 pcs.
- Infiniti FX / QX70 - 98 pcs.
- Mercedes C-Class - 89 pcs.
The Lexus LX, which is in first place, has also been at the top of the list of the most stolen cars in terms of the ratio of cars sold / stolen for several years. To commit such crimes against luxury cars, the tag relay method is mainly used. If she is not identified, the electronic unit control will not start the engine.
Hijackability in Moscow for 2018-2019
The statistics of thefts in Moscow at the beginning of 2019 are as follows:
- Mazda 3 - 157 pcs.
- Kia Rio - 118 pcs.
- Hundai Solaris - 110 pcs.
- Ford Focus - 101 pcs.
- Range Rover evoque - 88 pcs.
- Toyota Corolla - 74 pcs.
- Toyota Camry - 65 pcs.
- Honda Civic - 62 pcs.
- Mitsubishi Lancer - 61 pcs.
- Toyota Land cruiser 200 - 57 pcs.
So far, Mazda is overtaking Toyota, the most popular car among criminals in Moscow last year. At that time, two of its representatives were in the lead in terms of models: Toyota Camry and Toyota Land Cruiser 200. But the Mazda 3 took off from its then ninth place, overtaking its "sister" Mazda CX 5 and all other of the most stolen cars in Moscow. There is also no Mitsubishi Outlander, the brainchild of the Mitsubishi concern, which was popular in the past.
Protection methods
With the availability of special equipment and sufficient qualifications of the criminal, any of the standard protective systems that are supplied to cars at factories can be hacked. And most of the domestic hijackers will be able to cope with the device leading the top of the most hijacked Lada.
Unqualified alarm installation can be another problem. It is not uncommon for non-professional installers to make a big mistake by depriving a vehicle of an immobilizer - the most reliable element of a protective system. The alarm simply cannot function without a key, which is needed to start the engine by the protective system. It is registered in the standard immobilizer unit. It is much easier for attackers to deal with a breach in this case.
It is worthwhile to be wary if you are promised a complete installation of the protection system in just a few hours. In this case, a hastily made template system awaits the driver, which will not cause trouble for serious criminals. Really reliable protection can provide a network of devices including additional anti-relay tags for the system keyless entry... For car owners in Moscow and St. Petersburg to find good specialist it will be easier, but in other regions this may be difficult.
A driver who is concerned about the safety of his vehicle should know the degree of reliability of the protection system of his car and the stealing rating of cars by brand in order to minimize the risk of theft of his property.
Hundreds of cars are stolen in Russia every day. However, it is no secret that the "preferences" of criminals are not the same in relation to different brands and car models. In addition, the activity of hijackers varies significantly from region to region. IN does your " iron Horse"At risk?
The likelihood of car theft depends on how serious anti-theft means and measures must be used to keep the car safe. In addition, the higher the risk of theft, the higher the tariff for hull insurance. Unfortunately, information on car thefts is not published in the public domain on an ongoing basis. Nevertheless, there are a number of sources where you can get such statistics, and based on it, draw conclusions regarding the likelihood of theft. individual models cars in some cities.
Table 1 (Legend to Table 2). The likelihood of car theft.
the table scrolls to the right| Risk level | Advice |
|---|---|
| Maximum | Very high probabilitytheft. We recommend storing the car only in a guarded parking lot or in garage (if you have a pass regime in a garage society). Also should, if possible, equip the car most efficient anti-theft means (satellite systems, non-standard immobilizers, box blockers gears and the like). |
| Tall | High probability of theft. We recommend installing a sound alarm with feedback or anti-theft systems more high level. Storage at night time outside protected areas highly undesirable. |
| Significant | The likelihood of theft is average. However, we recommend establish effective anti-theft systems at least "Budget" level. Storage in garage or guarded - by opportunities. |
| Normal | The likelihood of theft is low. Cars of these models are rare are of interest to hijackers. However, there are such cases, therefore should not be neglected precautions. |
| Low | The likelihood of theft is minimal. Cars of these models are stolen extremely rare in a particular city or region. |

Sources of information:
- Traffic police... The traffic police keep records of official data, although they do not always disclose them. Information of the required content is published without any regularity. Information can be provided both by territorial divisions (statistics within a city or region), and in general (statistics for the Russian Federation).
- Private organizationsengaged in analytics. Detailed statistical calculations are provided by them on a paid basis. At the same time, less detailed information is sometimes disclosed in publications on the Internet.
- Insurance companies... Usually, insurers keep their own statistics on thefts to develop and adjust the tariff policy for hull insurance. Sometimes they publish data for a specific period.
- Other sources... These are all sorts of communities or associations, as well as other organizations and structures.
However, it does not hurt to more fully sanctify the situation of thefts in Russia. Below is an analysis of the relevant data.
Statistical risk ratings
As we noted earlier, for an objective analysis, it is necessary to take into account the ratio of stolen cars to the total number of cars (corresponding brand, region, model). It is possible, again, to take into account the data of the agency "AUTOSTAT". In case of insufficient information, given the objective conditionality of the rating, it is permissible to use other sources. As a result, it is possible to determine the approximate level of the likelihood of theft per year (for an average car, regardless of the model) for a number of large constituent entities of the Russian Federation:
Table 3. Average probability of theft by region.
the table scrolls to the right| № | The subject of the Russian Federation | Probability theft (per year) |

Based on the results obtained, it can be noted that VAZ cars as a whole are not the most desirable among hijackers. And the "frightening" statistics on them are the result of the brand's popularity in Russia. By the way, you can also determine the risks for some models:

| 06 | LADA 2106 | 0,08% |
| 07 | LADA 2107 | 0,07% |
Due to the lack of unified official statistics, conclusions about the hijacking have to be made on the basis of heterogeneous information.
Official traffic police statistics
Unfortunately, it is very difficult to find sufficiently fresh and structured information about thefts on the websites of the traffic police and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The information is either very general in nature or refers to individual settlements... So, in particular, in the first eleven months of 2015, car thefts were recorded in Perm:
- VAZ-2106 (07) - 65 cases;
- VAZ-21140 - 36 cases;
- VAZ-21703 (723) - 24 cases;
- Toyota - 39;
- Kia - 15;
- Mitsubishi - 15.
And this is perhaps the most informative sample of the materials found. At the same time, some Internet resources post data with a link to the traffic police. For example, one of the automotive projects published information on the ten most stolen brands and models in Russia in January-February 2015.
TOP-10 stolen brands:
- Lada (VAZ) - 1 658 hijackings were registered;
- Toyota - 756;

Analytics of specialized organizations
Companies of this kind are not government agencies. This must be taken into account when assessing the reliability of such sources. Nevertheless, some organizations in the relevant field have earned a high degree of trust due to their successful work over many years. Consider the statistics of two of them.
LLC "Autostat Info"
The most recent figures of this company, which were found, relate to thefts for the period from January to April 2015. TOP-30 hijacked car brands for the months indicated are as follows:

Insurance companies
On the one hand, the statistics of insurers does not show the complete picture, since it is tied only to the insured vehicle fleet. At the same time, in this case, the segment of cars that are insured against theft by their owners is actually analyzed. Therefore, the information may well be useful to owners of similar vehicles (including potential ones).
Intach Insurance
According to the company, from January to March 2015 in the Northern capital, the following were most often stolen:
- Audi A4;
- Toyota Camry;
- Renault Logan.
In Moscow, a similar three includes:
- Mazda 3;
- Kia Rio;
- Mitsubishi ASX.
At the same time, 17% more cases of theft were reported in St. Petersburg.
Renaissance Insurance
The insurer states that it has conducted a study in which the number of thefts for each model was correlated with the number of insured cars in the same segment. According to the company's data for the first quarter of 2015, St. Petersburg bypassed Moscow in terms of the activity of hijackers. At the same time, in the capital of Russia, most often the following were hijacked:
- TOYOTA LAND CRUISER 200;
- LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER SPORT;
- LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER.
The last two models shared the second and third places in the rating. In St. Petersburg, the frequency of thefts differed primarily:
- TOYOTA LAND CRUISER 200;
- RENAULT DUSTER;
- HYUNDAI IX35;
- RENAULT Sandero Stepway.
In the regions, the places in the top three in terms of the hijacking were distributed as follows:
- BMW 3-SERIES;
- LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER;
- TOYOTA LAND CRUISER PRADO.
At the same time, BMW and LAND ROVER share the "championship". By the way, many cases of car thefts from other regions in St. Petersburg were noted by "Renaissance".
Alpha Insurance
This company also took into account the ratio of stolen and insured vehicles in its analysis. The results obtained may well reflect the statistical risk of hijacking specific models. In the tables, it is indicated as a percentage. For the calculations, information was used from July 2014 to June 2015 inclusive.
Table 12. The rating of the hijacking in Moscow (AlfaStrakhovanie).
the table scrolls to the right| № | Model | Share of stolen machines |
|---|---|---|
| 01 | Range rover Evoque | 2,33% |
| 02 | Infiniti fx | 2,04% |
| 03 | Land rover Discovery | 1,84% |
| 04 | Toyota Land cruiser | 1,80% |
| 05 | Hyundai solaris | 1,65% |
| 06 | Range rover Sport | 1,61% |
| 07 | 1,94% |

| 04 | Nissan Murano | 0,98% |
| 05 | Bmw x5 | 0,96% |
| 06 | Mercedes S-Class | 0,92% |
| 07 | Mazda 3 | 0,77% |
| 08 | VAZ 2110-12 / 2170 | 0,55% |
| 09 | Toyota Camry | 0,52% |
| 10 | Toyota Land cruiser | 0,36% |
It should also be noted that according to AlfaStrakhovanie's data, the overall rate of hijacking in Moscow is three times higher than the regional one (0.3% versus 0.1%).
Other sources of theft statistics
These can be:
- Private organizations engaged in the production and (or) installation of anti-theft devices.
- Specialized Internet sites for automotive topics.
- All kinds of communities and other associations or organizations associated with the relevant field.
True, in these cases, the data are rarely voluminous and versatile enough to provide objective conclusions. Nevertheless, in some examples, the statistics are quite interesting and can be useful. For example, the SPUA community contains in its database 1,572 cases of car theft in 2015 (as of 12/25/2015). And this, in particular, exceeds the similar bases of insurance companies. According to the statistics of the project, the four constituent entities of the Russian Federation with the largest number of thefts are (by a decent margin):
- St. Petersburg (707 cases of theft, 45%);
- Moscow (480 cases, 31%);
- Yekaterinburg (66 cases, 4%);
- Novosibirsk (46 cases, 3%).

What's the bottom line?
Due to the lack of unified official statistics, conclusions about the hijacking have to be made on the basis of heterogeneous information. As for individual car models, it is necessary to carry out meticulous processing of the collected data.
If there are no brands (models) in the tables or lists, most likely the number of thefts in the corresponding car segment is statistically small. However, this should by no means be a reason to “relax”. No matter how small the risk of theft, it always exists. Therefore, in any case, you should not lose your vigilance. One of the best ways to financially protect yourself from theft remains CASCO. It is not out of place to keep in mind both the owners of cars "at risk" and the owners of less hijacked vehicles.
Car theft is a direction of crime, which is engaged in by various gangs of car thieves both in Moscow and throughout Russia. Each car theft is a well-planned operation of intruders who know when and where to pick up the car and what to do with it afterwards.
Today there are a huge number of different methods of opening and stealing cars. Most hijackers use simple and easy methods to keep it fast and quiet. There are few hijackers who skillfully deal with complex security systems. As a rule, the goal for them is expensive cars.
In the article, we will try to analyze which models and brands of cars are hijacked in Moscow, and also consider the rating of car theft in Moscow in 2018.
If we analyze the car theft by brands in the regions, then it will be possible to see that the brands and models of cars will differ from each other. Moreover, the statistics of thefts will be influenced by the number in a populated city. Which is, accordingly, obvious. So, in the multi-million city of Moscow, the number of Bentleys, Maserati and Rolls-Royce is very large, so if he loses one of them, which later turns out to be in another city with a million population, for example, in the city of Yekaterinburg, where there will be one more of them, then this is no one won't notice. As for satellite cities, in which the population is about 100 thousand people, then there is any expensive foreign car will be in plain sight and it will be dangerous to contact her.
Therefore, the hijacking rate in cities can be easily explained - in large cities it is easier to hijack an expensive foreign car, and in small cities, on the contrary, they are widespread. lada thefts and Lada.
As for the numbers, on the official website of the State Automobile Inspectorate you can get the following information: in 2015, about 60-70 thousand cars were stolen throughout the country, and 15 thousand of them were stolen in Moscow. If we compare these figures with 2014, then the number of cars stolen has decreased. This is due to the fact that on the eve of the crisis, citizens were actively spending money and many bought cars. In 2015, people have no money, there is a crisis in the country, so there is a significant decline. There is a direct relationship between the purchasing power of the population and the number of hijackings: the more people buy, the oddly enough, the hijacking in cities grows.
Hijackability in Moscow in 2018
Several years ago, domestic Zhiguli were popular vehicles for theft. Now the situation has changed. Inexpensive products appeared on the market korean cars, the quality of which is much better than the Russian ones, so citizens began to buy them. Accordingly, the statistics of the hijacking have changed, and Korean cars have also been hijacked.
| 1. | Mazda 3 |
| 2. | Hyundai solaris |
| 3. | Kia rio |
| 4. | Ford focus |
| 5. | Range rover evoque |
Based on statistics on thefts in Moscow in 2018, the model of the popular Ford Focus dropped lower, and Mazda 3 got to the first place in the rating of people stolen in Moscow. High-quality and expensive japanese model now very popular in ours. Subsequent places are shared by Hyundai Solaris, Kia Rio and Ford Focus. High prices for body parts, engine components, and running parts make car owners go to various auto-dismantlers for them not to shops. Then it becomes clear that it is not advisable to sell such machines entirely, but it is most profitable to disassemble and sell for spare parts. It is also not difficult to guess where the used parts come from and the assortment is expanded during disassembly.
Fifth place belongs to the expensive and fashionable Range Rover (Ewok). Such expensive car models are hijacked mainly by orders or according to a well-established haul scheme to remote regions of the country. Toyota Camry and Corolla, Mitsubishi Lancer, Honda Civic and Toyota Land Cruiser 200 were in the top 10 in terms of theft in 2018 in Moscow. The BMW X5, widely known and popular in criminal circles, was not included in the top ten leaders in terms of theft.
The traffic police inspectorate also provides data on the places of the city of Moscow, where car thieves are actively involved in the business. Most of the hijackings in 2018 were recorded in the southern district of Moscow. Further, the eastern and northern parts of the city are divided practically in half.
Hijackability rating by country
The following table shows the stolen vehicles by brand in 2018. From this rating on car thefts in Moscow and other cities in general, we can conclude that now autojackers specialize in car thefts without special training. One of the most popular for theft around the country is Lada. Fives and sevens are also in high demand for theft. Apparently, most of them are sent for disassembly.
It is possible to explain the stealability of VAZ cars by the fact that they have simple protection against theft, and on some it is completely absent. Due to the fact that a high-quality security system against possible theft will cost significant money, not all car owners can afford to invest such amounts of money. On the Internet, you can find both the secrets of opening, and ways to start such cars, which does not require complex preparation.
To date, less than half of all 90 thousand stolen cars have been found and returned to legitimate car owners. Half of the cars not found now drive on the roads of our country in different regions, and most of their owners do not even assume that the license plates on the car's units are broken. Most of them are sawn and disassembled and sold in car dealerships known to us.
It is worth recalling that you can check whether your car is listed in the theft on the website of the GosAvtoInspektsiya representative office.
When and where do hijackings occur most often?
According to the information provided by the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate, the age of cars that are most often stolen are more than 3-4 years old - this is about 60%. Those younger than this age are hijacked less often, in 15% of all cases.
It is worth noting that the place of stolen cars is now considered not shopping centers, as many think, but courtyards of houses and sleeping areas that are not in parking lots and not under protection. According to the statistics of thefts, a greater number of thefts are committed there, about 70%. And now only 15% are hijacked in parking lots of shopping centers. Such places are in demand for stealing bags and phones from cars.
The time of day for theft from thieves also plays an important role. Half of the stolen cars in 2018, as well as in 2016, were committed in the dark, at night - this is 52%. During the daytime - only 13%.
Such statistics, which are tracked by police officers, are not only useful to them themselves for conducting search activities, but also to car owners. Knowing about the places of theft, the time of their commission, you can try to protect your car by starting to put, for example, it in the parking lot or by installing a serious anti-theft or additional protective device. In addition, when buying, you can choose a car that is less significant in the stealing rating.
