In compiling the report, a non-profit organization analyzed data on vehicle thefts received from the FBI National Crime Information Center. As a result, US cities with the highest rates of vehicle theft per capita in 2018 were identified.

The list is not the first to lead the city of Albuquerque, New Mexico, despite the fact that compared to 2016, the number of hijackings decreased by 28%.

The National Bureau of Crime Prevention explains the improvement in the fact that the Office for the Prevention of Car Theft was created in the state of New Mexico. But this success was not enough for Albuquerque not to take first place in the list of hot spots.

In these cities, cars are stolen most often:

Albuquerque, New Mexico
Anchorage, Alaska
Bakersfield, CA
Pueblo, Colorado
Modesto, California
Redding, California
Stockton-Lodi, CA
Wichita, KS
Vallejo-Fairfield, CA
St. Joseph, Missouri

The organization explains that the rating results were obtained on the basis of a population survey, therefore “an area with a much smaller population and a moderate number of hijackings often has a higher level of car theft than the area where more hijackings are statistically absorbed by a large number of residents”.

That is why St. Joseph ranks 10th with 674 car thefts, and Los Angeles – 38 with more than 53,000 hijackings.

In general, the statistics of car thefts in the United States in 2018 decreased by 3.3%, according to preliminary data from the FBI. The National Bureau of Crime Prevention notes that the number of thefts has decreased since 2004. In the period from 1991 to 2017, the number of stolen cars decreased by 53%.

The improvement is explained by the fact that “automobile manufacturers, law enforcement agencies and legislative bodies for many years reacted to crimes related to vehicle theft”.

How best to insure the car from theft

If you live in one of the states included in the list of the National Bureau of Anti-Crime, there is a high probability that you pay more for car insurance. Living in an area with a high level of hijacking can increase insurance premiums.

Fortunately, you can optimize the cost of car insurance, regardless of where you live. The best way to do this is to periodically compare your rate with those offered by other insurers. To do this, call several insurance or fill out the forms on their websites.

This is reported by The New York Times referring to a document sent to the Congress, in which the administration asked for appropriate financial resources.

According to calculations by the US authorities, this amount should be enough for Mexico to pay for aircraft and trains, which should take out of the country about 17 thousand illegal migrants.

It is expected that this step will contribute to increasing the number of deportations from Mexico to Central American citizens, many of whom plan to travel through Mexican territory to the border with the United States.

Previously, Trump said that the US authorities have already spent $ 3.5 billion on building a wall on the border with Mexico to solve the problems of illegal migration.

The Mexican authorities refused to receive $ 20 million from the United States for the deportation of migrants to their home countries. This is reported by Proceso with reference to an unnamed Mexican official.

According to the portal, this decision was taken by the current Mexican government under the pressure of the team of the elected president of the country, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador.

“The Mexican government did not agree to accept $ 20 million, they are in the” Merida Initiative “foundation, but they did not accept them for repatriation,” he said.
