In 1992 the City of Winnipeg had the lowest rate of auto theft of any major city in Canada. In 1993, that trend changed. Theft techniques were quickly spreading amongst the criminal element all across North America. Auto theft affects us all through higher insurance rates, property damage, personal injuries and sometimes even death. In 2000, the cost of auto theft in Manitoba was 22.8 million dollars. Motives for auto theft include - but are not limited to - joyriding, transportation, and financial gain from selling the vehicle or its parts. Auto theft can be reduced significantly if owners adopt some simple, common sense habits.
There are many other approaches to auto theft prevention that you will find described or referred to on this website.
