GAI.EN:
At the end of 2016, the Ministry of the Interior prepared statistics on crimes against the movable property of motorists. In other words, the security forces calculated the number of thefts and thefts of cars that occurred over the year and identified the most popular car models among the hijackers. In total, 33.859 were recorded in 2016 car thefts where the cars were never found. At the same time, as we noted earlier on the pages, for 7 months of 2016, the bodies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation uncovered 4,648 previously committed thefts and 10,068 previously committed car thefts.
From year to year, the statistics of the total number of stolen cars is gradually decreasing. According to the AvtoVzglyad portal, if more than 100 thousand cars were stolen in 2012, then three years later this number dropped to 36 thousand. In 2016, as you can see, the figure was reduced by another three thousand.
The top ten most popular car models among car thieves include: Hyundai Solaris, VAZ-2106 (incredibly, but the "classic" maternity hospital from Soviet period is still running crime car), took third place, Toyota Camry and Corolla were also in the Top 5 most running cars among the criminals. Followed by , French Renault Logan, Mazda3 and of course Toyota RAV4. Closes the top ten.
Most of the illegal actions regarding the property of car owners were committed with the aim of reselling cars for spare parts. And there is nothing surprising in this, new spare parts for foreign cars are expensive, so people go to dismantling and to sellers of used spare parts, acquiring parts with a dubious past, thereby fueling the illegal business with finances.
However, not only owners suffer from cunning thieves foreign cars. Patriotic enjoys unquenchable interest in the criminal environment. Various Models AvtoVAZ of all years, as we can see, the VAZ-2106 even entered the list, in 2016 they were included in criminal statistics more than 5 thousand times.
Among the premium stolen models in Russia, the leadership remains unchanged: Mercedes G-class, BMW 3-series, Lexus RX, Land Rover range rover Lexus LX, Mercedes E-class, BMW X5, Infiniti FX / QX70, .

Hundreds of cars are stolen every day in Russia. However, it is no secret that the "preferences" of criminals are not the same in relation to different brands and car models. In addition, the activity of hijackers varies significantly from region to region. IN Does your "iron horse" go to the risk group?
The probability of car theft depends on how serious anti-theft means and measures must be used to save the machine. In addition, the higher the risk of theft, the higher the CASCO tariff. Unfortunately, information on car thefts is not published in the public domain on an ongoing basis. However, there are a number of sources where you can get such statistics, and on its basis draw conclusions regarding the likelihood of theft. individual models cars in some cities.
Table 1 (Legend to Table 2). Probability of car theft.
table scrolls to the right| Level of risk | Adviсe |
|---|---|
| Maximum | Very high probabilitytheft. We recommend keeping the car only in a guarded parking lot or in garage (if you have a pass regime in the garage society). Also should be provided where possible machine most efficient anti-theft means (satellite systems, non-standard immobilizers, box blockers transmissions, etc.). |
| High | High chance of theft. We recommend installing sound alarm system with feedback or anti-theft systems more high level. Overnight storage time outside protected areas highly undesirable. |
| Significant | The probability of theft is average. However, we recommend establish effective anti-theft systems at least budget level. Storage in garage or guarded possibilities. |
| Normal | The probability of theft is low. Cars of these models are rarely are of interest to thieves. However, there are such cases therefore should not be neglected precautions. |
| Short | The probability of theft is minimal. Cars of these models are stolen extremely rare in a particular city or region. |

Information sources:
- traffic police. The State traffic inspectorate keeps records of official data, although it does not always disclose them. Information of the necessary content is published without any regularity. Information can be provided both by territorial divisions (statistics within a city or region), and in general (statistics for the Russian Federation).
- Private organizations doing analytics. Detailed statistical calculations are provided by them for a fee. At the same time, less detailed information is sometimes disclosed in publications on the Internet.
- Insurance companies. Usually, insurers keep their own statistics on thefts to develop and adjust the tariff policy for CASCO. Sometimes they publish data for a certain period.
- Other sources. These are various kinds of communities or associations, as well as other organizations and structures.
However, it does not hurt to more extensively sanctify the situation of thefts in Russia. Below is an analysis of the relevant data.
Statistical Risk Ratings
As we noted earlier, for an objective analysis, it is necessary to take into account the ratio of stolen cars to the total number of cars (of the corresponding brand, region, model). Again, we can take into account the data of the AUTOSTAT agency. In case of insufficient information, given the objective conventionality of the rating, it is permissible to use other sources. As a result, it is possible to determine the approximate level of theft probability per year (for an average car, regardless of the model) for a number of large subjects of the Russian Federation:
Table 3. The average probability of theft by region.
table scrolls to the right| № | The subject of the Russian Federation | Probability theft (per year) |
|---|---|---|
| 01 | Saint Petersburg | 0,35% |
| 02 | Moscow | 0,17% |

| 01 | MAZDA | 0,24% |

| 16 | VOLKSWAGEN | 0,05% |
| 17 | GAZ | 0,03% |
| 18 | OPEL | 0,03% |
Based on the results obtained, it can be noted that VAZ cars as a whole are not the most desirable among car thieves. And the “frightening” statistics on them is the result of the popularity of the brand in Russia. By the way, you can also determine the risks for some models:

| 05 | DAEWOO NEXIA | 0,10% |
| 06 | LADA 2106 | 0,08% |
| 07 | LADA 2107 | 0,07% |
Due to the lack of unified official statistics, conclusions about theft have to be drawn on the basis of heterogeneous information.
Official traffic police statistics
Unfortunately, it is very difficult to find sufficiently fresh and structured information about thefts on the websites of the traffic police and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The information is either extremely general in nature, or refers to individual settlements. So, in particular, for the first eleven months of 2015, car thefts were recorded in Perm:
- VAZ-2106 (07) - 65 cases;
- VAZ-21140 - 36 cases;
- VAZ-21703 (723) - 24 cases;
- Toyota - 39;
- "Kia" - 15;
- Mitsubishi - 15.
And this is perhaps the most informative sample of the materials found. At the same time, some Internet resources post data with reference to the traffic police. For example, one of the automotive projects published information about the ten most stolen brands and models in Russia in January-February 2015.
TOP 10 stolen brands:
- Lada (VAZ) - 1,658 thefts were registered;
- Toyota - 756;
- Mazda-269;
- Nissan - 232;
- Renault - 217;
- Ford - 203;
- Kia-192;
- Hyundai - 170;
- Mitsubishi - 159;
- Honda - 147.
TOP 10 stolen models:
- Lada 2106 - 207 thefts were registered;
- Lada 2107 - 189;
- Lada Samara (hatchback) - 162;
- Toyota Corolla-155;
- Lada 2109 - 153;
- Ford Focus - 153;
- Mazda3 - 136;
- Lada Priora (sedan) - 135;
- Toyota Camry - 111;
- Kia Rio-105.
And RIA Novosti, with reference to the head of the Moscow traffic police department, reported on the “leaders” in theft in the capital. For the first seven months of 2015, the championship among domestic car models holds Lada-Priora, and among foreign cars - Mazda-3. In addition, the prey of attackers often become:
- Hyundai Solaris;
- Kia Rio;
- Ford Focus;
- Range Rover;
- Toyota.
Analytics of specialized organizations
Companies of this kind are not government agencies. This must be taken into account when assessing the reliability of such sources. However, some organizations in the relevant field have earned a high degree confidence thanks to many years of successful work. Consider the statistics of two of them.
LLC "Avtostat Info"
The most "fresh" figures from this company that could be found relate to thefts for the period from January to April 2015. TOP-30 hijacked passenger brands for the indicated months is as follows:

At the same time, it should be noted that the data presented can hardly serve as a basis for conclusions about the degree of risk. For objectivity, it is necessary to correlate the numbers with the number of cars in the corresponding segment.
Automotive Statistics LLC
This organization works under the brand name "AUTOSTAT Analytical Agency". The agency posted in June information about the most stolen cars for the period from January to May 2015. The top ten included the following brands:

Insurance companies
On the one hand, the statistics of insurers do not show the full picture, since they are tied only to the insured fleet of vehicles. However, in this case in fact, the segment of cars that are insured against theft by their owners is analyzed. Therefore, the information may well be useful to owners of similar vehicles (including potential ones).
Intouch Insurance
According to the company, from January to March 2015, the following were most often stolen in the Northern capital:
- Audi A4;
- Toyota Camry;
- Renault Logan.
In Moscow, a similar trio includes:
- Mazda 3;
- Kia Rio;
- Mitsubishi ASX.
At the same time, 17% more cases of theft were reported in St. Petersburg.
Renaissance Insurance
The insurer claims to have conducted a study in which the number of thefts for each model was correlated with the number of insured cars in the same segment. According to the company's data for the first quarter of 2015, St. Petersburg surpassed Moscow in terms of hijacking activity. At the same time, in the capital of Russia, the following were most often hijacked:
- TOYOTA LAND CRUISER 200;
- LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER SPORT;
- LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER.
The last two models shared the second and third place in the ranking. In St. Petersburg, the frequency of hijackings differed primarily:
- TOYOTA LAND CRUISER 200;
- RENAULT DUSTER;
- HYUNDAI IX35;
- RENAULT Sandero Stepway.
In the regions, the places in the top three in terms of theft were distributed as follows:
- BMW 3-SERIES;
- LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER;
- TOYOTA LAND CRUISER PRADO.
At the same time, BMW and LAND ROVER share the “primacy”. By the way, "Renaissance" noted many cases of car thefts in St. Petersburg from other regions.
AlphaInsurance
This company in its analysis also took into account the ratio of stolen and insured cars. The results obtained may well reflect the statistical risk of theft specific models. In the tables it is indicated as a percentage. For calculations, information was used from July 2014 to June 2015 inclusive.
Table 12. Theft rating in Moscow (AlfaStrakhovanie).

| 09 | Toyota Camry | 0,52% |
| 10 | Toyota Land cruiser | 0,36% |
We also note that according to AlfaStrakhovanie, the overall theft rate in Moscow is three times higher than the regional one (0.3% versus 0.1%).
Other sources of theft statistics
These may serve as:
- Private organizations engaged in the production and (or) installation of anti-theft devices.
- Specialized Internet sites for automotive topics.
- All sorts of communities and other associations or organizations associated with the relevant field.
However, in these cases, the data are rarely large enough and versatile enough to provide objective conclusions. However, in some examples the statistics are quite interesting and can be useful. For example, the SPUA community contains 1,572 cases of car theft in 2015 (as of 12/25/2015) in its database. And this, in particular, exceeds the similar bases of insurance companies. According to the statistics of the project, the four subjects of the Russian Federation with the largest number of thefts are (with a decent margin):
- St. Petersburg (707 theft cases, 45%);
- Moscow (480 cases, 31%);
- Yekaterinburg (66 cases, 4%);
- Novosibirsk (46 cases, 3%).

What is the result?
Due to the lack of unified official statistics, conclusions about theft have to be drawn on the basis of heterogeneous information. As for individual car models, it is necessary to carry out scrupulous processing of the collected data.
If some brands (models) were not in the tables or lists, most likely the number of thefts in the corresponding car segment is statistically small. However, this should by no means be a reason to “relax”. No matter how small the risk of theft, it is always there. Therefore, in any case, you should not lose vigilance. One of better ways CASCO remains financially secure from theft. It is worth remembering this both for owners of cars “at risk” and for owners of vehicles that are less stolen.
