Despite the fact that the number of thefts and thefts of vehicles in our country is steadily decreasing, a significant number of car owners are still at risk of being left without their beloved “swallows”. Why, the portal “AvtoVzglyad” discovered.
At first glance, the police statistics should please domestic drivers: the criminal element is clearly losing interest in this type of activity, such as car theft. Suffice it to say that in the eleven months of last year the country registered 6.58 thousand car thefts (22.9% less than in the same period in 2022) and 11.6 thousand thefts (−8.4%).
Experts attribute this decline to the closure of the borders with Ukraine and the Baltic countries, where stolen cars were most often sold, and to the fact that in Russia there is a growing number of CCTV cameras, which greatly facilitates the search for intruders. However, a number of analysts are convinced that this peace is temporary.
According to them, the number of car thefts will inevitably increase, because there is still a shortage of spare parts for many models in our market, and the available parts are too expensive. That is why cars are not driven for sale, but for disassembly. The situation will worsen. Despite the positive statistics, some experts predict an increase in car thefts due to problems with spare parts.
According to them, cars will be stolen for further disassembly for spare parts, especially after authorities allowed insurers to repair vehicles under compulsory motorcycle liability insurance with used spare parts. In this case, the owners of Chinese and Korean cars will be the first to be “divided”.
However, the president of the ANO “Institute for Research on the Social and Economic-Technological Development of Society” Andrey Bystrov does not agree with this position. According to him, there will be nothing wrong with it if they allow the use of used spare parts in the repair of compulsory motor vehicle liability insurance. Used spare parts are already used in Russia, especially in the Far East, where the share of right-hand drive cars is large, and all over the world “
“If it is officially allowed to repair used cars with spare parts under the car insurance policy, then this will be done according to a specific list of parts, and service stations will guarantee the customer a high level of repair,” Mr. Bystrov emphasizes. .
However, car owners in a number of regions must be alert and take serious care of the protection of their movable assets. According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, cars are stolen most often in the Moscow, Leningrad, Sverdlovsk, Chelyabinsk and Novosibirsk regions. Attackers are also active in the areas of Saint Petersburg, Krasnodar, Krasnoyarsk and Primorsky.
