It is much more important to look at the breakdown by months, published by the newspaper Izvestia. So in January and February, attackers stole 459 and 505 cars, respectively. This is a very acceptable figure… Especially considering that the police have been able to solve 43% of the crimes committed.

But in the spring a real epidemic started! If we compare the results of January and May, the number of hijackings has doubled. In March, the hijackers stole 620 cars, in April – 811, and in May – already 952 cars. Also the result of June – 917 crimes – does not inspire optimism.

It is clear that a wave of thefts swept our country as soon as the shortage of auto parts started. It’s no secret that the vast majority of stolen equipment is immediately disassembled for spare parts.

There is no doubt that the tightness of the auto and auto parts market is necessarily leading to an increase in theft: buyers no longer ask “where the firewood comes from” and are willing to overpay for scarce parts.

Insurance won’t help – you can’t buy a new car. So you have to think carefully about the protection of the existing transport. The good old mechanics are relevant again. Details are on the AvtoVzglyad portal.
