Theft of cars is a direction of crime, which is engaged in by various gangs of car thieves both in Moscow and throughout Russia. Each car theft is a well-planned operation of intruders who know when and where to pick up the car and what to do with it later.
Today there are a huge number various methods openings and theft of cars. Most hijackers use simple and easy ways to make it fast and quiet. There are few specialist hijackers who skillfully deal with complex security systems. As a rule, the goal for them is expensive cars.
In the article, we will try to analyze which models and brands of cars are stolen in Moscow, and also consider the rating of car theft in Moscow in 2018.
If we analyze the car theft rate by brand in the regions, we can see that the brands and models of cars will differ from each other. Moreover, the statistics of thefts will be affected by the number in a populated city. Which is accordingly obvious. So, in the multi-million city of Moscow, the number of Bentley, Maserati and Rolls-Royce is very large, so if he loses one of them, which subsequently ends up in another million-plus city, for example, in the city of Yekaterinburg, where there will be one more of them, then no one won't notice. As for the satellite towns, in which the population is about 100 thousand people, then there any expensive foreign car will be in full view and it will be dangerous to contact her.
Therefore, theft in cities is explained simply - in major cities it is easier to steal an expensive foreign car, and small ones, on the contrary, are common Lada thefts and Zhiguli.
As for the numbers, you can get the following information on the official website of the State Traffic Inspectorate: in 2015, about 60-70 thousand cars were stolen throughout the country, and 15 thousand of them were stolen in Moscow. If we compare these figures with 2014, the theft of cars has decreased. This is explained by the fact that on the eve of the crisis, citizens were actively spending money and many were buying cars. In 2015, people have no money, the country is in crisis, so there is a significant decline. There is a direct relationship between the purchasing power of the population and the number of car thefts: the more people buy, the more, oddly enough, the car theft in cities grows.
Theft rate in Moscow in 2018
A few years ago, domestic Zhiguli were popular cars for theft. Now the situation has changed. Inexpensive appeared on the market Korean cars, the quality of which is much better than Russian ones, so citizens began to buy them. Correspondingly, the theft statistics have also changed, and Korean cars have also begun to be stolen.

Based on statistics on thefts in Moscow in 2018, the model popular car Ford Focus dropped lower, and Mazda 3 got the first place in the rating of stolen cars in Moscow. High-quality and expensive japanese model now very popular in our. Subsequent places are shared by Hyundai Solaris, Kia Rio and Ford Focus. High prices for body parts, engine elements, running parts force car owners to apply for them not in stores, but in various car dismantling shops. Then it becomes clear that it is not advisable to sell such machines as a whole, but it is most profitable to disassemble and sell for parts. It is also not difficult to guess where used parts come from and the range of disassembly is expanding.
Fifth place belongs to the expensive and fashionable Range Rover (Ewok). Such expensive models of cars are stolen mainly on orders or according to a well-established scheme of transportation to remote regions of the country. Toyota Camry and Corolla, Mitsubishi Lancer, Honda Civic and Toyota Land Cruiser 200 were in the top 10 in terms of theft in 2018 in Moscow. The BMW X5, widely known and popular in criminal circles, did not enter the top ten in terms of theft.
The traffic police inspectorate also provides data on the places in the city of Moscow where car thieves actively trade. Most of all in 2018 thefts were recorded in the southern district of Moscow. Further, the eastern and northern parts of the city are divided almost in half.
Theft rating by country
The following table shows car theft rates by brand for 2018. From this rating of car thefts in Moscow and other cities in general, we can conclude that car thieves now specialize in car thefts without special training. One of the most popular for theft in the country is Lada. Fives and sevens are also actively in demand for theft. Apparently, most of them are sent for disassembly.
Explain the theft VAZ cars it is possible that they have simple protection against theft, and on some it is completely absent. Due to the fact that a high-quality security system against possible theft will cost significant Money, not all car owners can afford to invest such amounts of money. On the Internet, you can find the secrets of opening, and ways to start such cars, which does not require complex preparation.
To date, less than half of all 90,000 stolen cars have been found and returned to their rightful car owners. Half of the cars not found now drive on the roads of our country in different regions, and most of their owners do not even assume that the numbers on the car's units are interrupted. Most of it is sawn and taken apart and sold in car showdowns known to us.
It is worth recalling that you can check whether your car is listed as stolen on the website of the representative office of the State Auto Inspectorate.
When and where are the most common thefts?
According to the information provided by the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate, the age of cars, which are most often recorded as stolen, is more than 3-4 years - this is about 60%. Younger than this age is stolen less often, in 15% of all cases.

According to the statistics of theft, there is a greater number of thefts, about 70%. And in the parking lots shopping centers steal now only 15%. Such places are in demand for stealing bags and phones from cars.
The time of day for stealing from thieves also plays important role. Half of the stolen cars in 2018, as well as in 2016, were committed in dark time, at night - it's 52%. In the daytime - only 13%.
Such statistical data that police officers track is not only useful to them for conducting search activities, but also to car owners. Knowing about the places of theft, the time of their commission, you can try to secure your car by starting to park it, for example, or by installing a serious anti-theft or additional protective device. In addition, when buying, you can choose a car that is less significant in the theft rating.

Who exactly will get lucky?
Since 2000 anti-theft marking LITEX gives a complete absence of car theft attempts from our customers. At the beginning of 2019, more than 4 million cars are registered with the official additional marking LITEX, of which 0 (zero) are wanted and 0 (zero) hijacking attempts were made! Since 1996, the statistics on marked cars have shown a gradual decrease in thefts and an increase in the percentage of detection of stolen cars, and in the future and up to the present moment, there has been a complete absence of thefts of marked cars.
Anti-theft marking LITEKS is the prevention and prevention of crimes related to theft and theft of car parts. Marking is done once and for the entire life of the car. The marking will not break, will not become obsolete, will not create harmful side effects (radiation, noise), will not require any further action when operating the vehicle. Attackers will not even try to steal a marked car. Refusal of theft will occur at the first preparatory stage!
The LITEX anti-theft marking applied on a car helps to make the car commercially unprofitable for further illegal resale by intruders. Also, the car owner does not need to modify and supplement the regular, pre-installed at the factory, security and safety of the car. Owning a car goes to a higher degree in a different plane.
On the night of August 25-26, approximately at 4:40 in the morning, an attempt was made to steal a BMW X5 on Moskvorechye Street. The attackers were unable to cope with the security and anti-theft system, and the car remained with the rightful owner.
The car was installed anti-theft complex, already about 4 years ago, it was he who resisted the hijacking for 15 minutes. This was captured on the concierge's video camera: during the time from 4:40 to 4:55, the car was approached several times different people, including penetrated into the salon, how many people are not clear, because. it was dark. Unfortunately, the user did not monitor the balance of the SIM card installed in the telematics device and did not receive a notification from the car about unauthorized entry into the passenger compartment, however, all the anti-theft properties of the kit worked perfectly.
The owner of the car left the house at approximately 10:00 in the morning, and noticed that all the windows of the doors were open, but without attaching much importance to this circumstance, he got behind the wheel, started the engine, raised all the windows and left for work. Arriving at work, the user put the car under protection, all the windows went all the way down again, and only then the owner realized that something was wrong with his car. Looking at the door, found a broken larva driver's door, windows arbitrarily fell down.
The owner came to inspect the car at the Theft.net service, diagnostics of the security system and damage to the car made it possible to restore the history of the theft attempt. The attackers entered the car interior through the pulled-out lock cylinder of the driver's door; Then, with the help of the attackers, they connected to the diagnostic connector to disable the function regular immobilizer. But the attempt to start the engine and move off was unsuccessful, due to additional digital lock engine activated by an additional anti-theft device.
The federal service of Theft.net provides its customers with an unsuccessful attempt at theft:
- Departure of a specialist to the scene (if necessary)
- Free evacuation of the car to the Theft service. no

Producing countries:
So, the first thing that catches your eye, of course, is that there has been a shift in the demand of intruders towards the domestic fleet. thefts Russian cars now occupy the first place, let me remind you that last year on the podium was Japanese auto industry. However, the proportion of thefts and Japanese stamps and Russian has fallen compared to last year, giving rise to Koreans and Europeans, who now account for 16 percent of the number of stolen cars.
We will talk about Koreans a little later, but among budget segment European cars steal more often Renault Duster, Sandero, Logan. The hijacking technique is quite simple - everyone is subject to it. listed cars and provides the usual replacement for the engine control module, which is located behind the glove box or in engine compartment. Volkswagen Polo is also subject to theft, the theft of which is most often carried out by prescribing an additional chip of a standard immobilizer through the diagnostic connector. At the same time, all mechanical locks turn with a "splinter".
Brands TOP-20:
The rating of stolen car brands remained almost unchanged compared to the previous period, with the exception of slight castling and the exit from the TOP 20 of the Infiniti brand. But at the same time, Opel entered the top 20. Probably after GM left Russian market there is a demand for used spare parts, and these cars began to steal more for disassembly. Of course, Lada remains the leader of thefts as before. This is mostly due to theft. classic Zhiguli, equipped with outdated and electronically hacked car alarms, but new models are already beginning to be in demand. Despite the high degree of protection of the standard immobilizer, the hijackers have already managed to find ways to deactivate all factory security systems and Lada X-ray and Lada Vesta.
Models of foreign cars TOP-20:
And this is how thefts of car brands were distributed. In the first place again Hyundai Solaris. Of course, this is a mass brand, but why is it so much and often stolen?
Let's take a closer look at the theft statistics of this model by year of manufacture:
We see that both old and very fresh cars are stolen. Solaris is already being produced in the second generation, and the method of protecting regular security systems has not changed at all in 8 years and is at an extremely low level. Stealing this car is not difficult, the hijackers are well aware of this. The second reason for the ease of stealing is the use additional alarms, not protected from electronic hacking, or incorrect use of additional anti-theft systems, for example, in 90% of cases, the owners do not change the pin code on the alarms, leaving the hijackers an easy way to deactivate the protection.
10 premium segment models:
Results:
At the end of 2017, the Russian car market grew by almost 12%. This is usually accompanied by an increase secondary market cars and, as a consequence, an increase in the demand for theft. The peculiarity of this factor, as well as the availability of relay technologies, will most likely show an increase in the number of hijackings in 2018. We recommend not to rely on regular security systems and protect your car from professionals.
