If you live in the United States, the odds of your vehicle being stolen are 1 in 210, according to 2006 data from the federal government and the Insurance Information Institute (III). Not only that, but the III reports that more than 75,000 airbags are stolen every year. Urban areas are the worst for car theft statistics, and if you live in the West or South, your chances of becoming a car theft victim are double the chances in the Midwest, and four times as likely for those living in the Northeast. The first car theft in recorded history took place in 1898, so car thieves have had plenty of time to refine their techniques.
