Vehicle Crime

Vehicle theft unfortunately can affect us all. We believe, "It won't happen to me" but unfortunately it all too often can. And when it does, you not only lose your vehicle for an indefinite period, you may never see it again. You stand the risk of losing the vehicle contents, your no-claims bonus... and your means of getting about - whether for business or pleasure. As well as the emotional upset, it can have a deeply damaging effect on your finances.

  • Vehicle crime accounts for about a fifth of all crime and costs the country at least £3.5 billion a year. 

  • There were more than 300,000 reported cases of 'theft-of' vehicles and 650,000 reported cases of 'theft-from' vehicles in 2002/2003.

  • Cars more than five years old are now at greatest risk of being stolen.

The true scale of 'theft-from' offences is much higher than the recorded rate. The British Crime Survey estimates around 1.8 million offences per year (three times the recorded rate).
