2002–2004 Ohio Auto Thefts by Selected Cities
OII estimates the direct loss attributed to cars that were stolen
and never recovered in Ohio exeeded $92.3 million in 2004.
Determining economic losses
According to FBI Uniform Crime Reports,
an estimated 63% of the autos stolen in 2004 were recovered.
Based on this stolen recovery
rate, 37% of vehicles stolen are not recovered. The FBI also
estimates that the unrecovered stolen autos had an average value
of $6,108. Thus, to obtain the “Direct Loss of Unrecovered
Vehicles” estimates, 37% of the number of motor vehicle
thefts for a given city was multiplied by the average dollar amount
($6,108) to obtain the estimate.
These computations do not take
into consideration the following costs:
- Damage to stolen recovered vehicles
- Law enforcement
- Court administration
- Injuries
- Damage to other property
