The risks of theft for each individual car depend on the economic value of the brand and model itself.
Insurance companies have entire lists that are formed in order to determine at what time and which car models are at risk for theft.
In many ways, this is facilitated by the traffic police base for stolen cars, from where information can be obtained not only Insurance companies but also ordinary citizens.

Every year statistics show that vehicles are returned to their owners in about 60% of cases. The rest of the cars have never been found.
In all likelihood, they were either disassembled and sold for spare parts, or modified beyond recognition, up to interrupting the factory serial numbers on machines and used by others.
In any case, the search for a car is always a difficult undertaking, and it is carried out under the auspices of the operational services. Here are the statistics in the table for stolen cars in different tables.

It should be borne in mind that time does not stand still. This means that the information in the table for 2019 may still change dramatically and show different data in December this year.
The table shows highly averaged data for the first half of 2019, while they have their own dynamics in relation to brand preferences. And the dynamics are fleeting!
Today, for example, the underworld of car thieves is interested in Subaru, and tomorrow it switches to Peugeot.
The percentage of car thefts of specific industries, of the registered cases on the territory of the Russian Federation:
| Cars of which manufacturing countries were most often stolen in 2019 | Percent out of 100% |
| Japanese | 33% |
| Russian | 31% |
| European | 15% |
| Korean | 14% |
| American | 6% |
| Chinese | 1% |
This speaks to which cars are considered the most valuable on the market and provide economic benefits to criminals. That is why they are so attractive to the underworld.
So, Japanese foreign cars are considered to be the most popular item among stolen copies when they are sold today. They are followed by domestically produced cars.
No matter how criticized they are from the consumer. However, their parts and autos are valued almost on a par with Japanese cars- it all depends on the demand of buyers in the secondary car market.
Note! In order to be guided by whether your car is at risk for theft, it is necessary to track not only statistics that show data for the past period, but also monitor forecasts - the probability, on average, of the fact that the car may be of interest to the hijackers.
Who maintains the traffic police database of stolen cars
In total, there are 3 sources of collection of information on car thefts Vehicle you can trust:
- State institution of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate (or else you can call it correctly - "State traffic inspectorate").
- Analytical services and agencies.
- Insurance companies.
The functions of each source differ from each other, although there are similar data - everyone is interested in collecting information on car thefts and thefts. Consider the features of each organization in the table.
For which each organization is more responsible for collecting information about stolen cars in the Russian Federation:
Main source truthful information for theft of cars is located at a state institution - traffic police, traffic police.
In addition, you can get information about stolen cars, or check the car for theft, in various analytical services.
For more than one year they have been searching, structuring and registering information on vehicle thefts for a specific period and for a specific city (or cities).
In addition, the insurers themselves provide significant assistance and assistance to the common cause - they are also interested in knowing which cars are at risk, so they make it more expensive.
But insurers most often form their own database of thefts and thefts, which they were able to record, based on the requests of their clients on policies.
It turns out. that if the car is insured and the client contacts the insurance company, then the data is recorded. If the car is not insured or the client has not applied, then there is no data, although the case may have happened.
Conclusion! All three data sources are not always consistent with each other. In one thing they agree with each other and have data on cases of theft, but in another they differ.
In one database, for example, it is more convenient to search for stolen insured cars, and in another, found ones.
How to put a stolen car into the database
In order to be able to find cars stolen from the traffic police database, by car number for free, it is necessary that the database itself be replenished. The database is regularly updated due to cases of thefts and appeals to law enforcement agencies of victims of the theft of citizens.
In order for the disappeared car to get into the traffic police database, its owner should take several important steps:
- First, apply to the local police - OVD, Ministry of Internal Affairs.
- Then get a certificate stating that the case of theft has been initiated.
- After that, you should go to any department of the traffic police and there apply for registration of the stolen car.
The following important information should be included in the statements:
- information about the motorist;
- car information;
- special signs of the car - color, places where the paint has changed, the presence of scratches, dents, etc.
- the statement of the request itself - to register the car as stolen in the database and start searching for it.
- list of attachments - copies of documents on the car.
It was after the filing of the application that the traffic police specialists put the car on the wanted list and begin their operations to find the stolen copy.
The traffic police database has access to employees of the road patrol service of the DPS, operational police departments, all stationary or mobile crews of patrol services.
How to check
To check a vehicle for theft or lack thereof, you must first prepare the VIN of the vehicle.
This is such a special unique vehicle passport number (VIN-code), which is located in the PTS - vehicle passport.
This combination of numbers is entered into the appropriate field offered in the search service for the unified traffic police database.
The algorithm of actions for checking a car on the basis is as follows:
- You need any digital device that has access to the Internet - a computer, tablet, phone, etc.
- We go to the traffic police website - http://www.gibdd.ru/.
- We find in the Main Menu (blue horizontal ribbon with buttons) the following items: "SERVICES", and then - "Car check". It is necessary to click on the active link of the exit to a separate page - "Car check".
- A page opens in front of you, which immediately prompts you to enter VIN number car, body number, or chassis number - one of these. If you do not enter the number, but first proceed down the page and click the active link "request verification", then the verification attempt will be unsuccessful. The system will ask you to enter the number of one of the vehicle attributes - VIN, body, or chassis.
- If you first enter the number, and then proceed down to click the active link "request verification", then the system will give you the result. Among the results, you may encounter the following formulation: “… not found”. This means that the car is not wanted and stolen. Conversely, if motor vehicle it was stolen and this was reported to the traffic police and the information was entered into the database, then the system will give as a result that the car is on the wanted list. This is a computer version of the system.
- And now we present an option from mobile device where the application is the VIN check program. And here, too, you will need to fill in the VIN code data in a special line. It gives the same exact result, just outwardly everything will look a little different. You get the answer from the base in the left column, and the data on the car is displayed on the right.
- detection of a vehicle and persons responsible for its theft;
- the vehicle was found, but the hijackers managed to escape;
- the location of the vehicle and the perpetrators of the hijacking has not been established.
- hijacking - taking possession of a vehicle without the purpose of stealing it;
- theft - seizure with the purpose of theft, that is, illegal resale, sawing, and so on.
- lack of time and people;
- banal unwillingness to work;
- connections - you can find many stories that the police themselves are tied to this business.
- Collection detailed information about auto - it's not only registration number, brand and color, but also special signs - chips, scratches, fragments of the body painted in other colors that differ from the main one and other features that may attract the attention of witnesses and the employee himself during the search;
- Interviewing possible witnesses to the hijacking is a time-consuming job, especially if the car was stolen from a busy thoroughfare, but this is a necessary measure, since the testimony of even one witness can lead to the trail of criminals;
- Search for the hijacked trucks or passenger cars impossible in modern world without viewing CCTV cameras. With the help of these devices, you can not only trace the route of the car, but even establish the appearance of the hijackers.
Note! Those who need to buy a car should first check their vehicles for theft according to the above scheme.
After the database gives the result that the car is wanted, such a car cannot be bought - it is stolen.
Moreover, the stolen vehicle cannot be registered to the new owner. All restrictions and “wanted” status must first be removed.
How to secure your TS
To establish a super modern anti-theft installation, it is best to seek help from professional technicians.
It is best to buy such systems from not very popular companies, since access codes can be known to fraudsters if the anti-theft device is from a well-known brand.
There is also no need to spread the word to friends and acquaintances about what protection measures you are using - this is fraught with information leakage that can reach the criminals. Acquaintances and even friends can steal a car if they are accomplices in this matter.
Experts warn that the protection measures used by drivers today may not always be effective due to the fact that fraudsters very often find different ways bypass them.
Fraudulent ways of circumventing the protection systems of cars that intend to steal are now popular in the following options, presented in a special table.
Methods of protection by car owners and hacking by criminals:
| Protection type | Hacking methods | The best protection option |
| The grabber code of the key fob that blocks the vehicle factory and turns on the alarm. | They read the electronic digital combinations of the key fob signals (they can, among other things, be intercepted remotely), reproduce and break the car lock. | Best used dialog code... It is capable of sending back to the key fob a random combination of a number with other numbers. You can only withdraw it with a combination of 2 numbers. |
| Pin locks | Locking mechanisms are broken open with a bumping method, master keys, pneumatic cushions. | The more you use additional anti-burglary means, the less chances that the car will be stolen. |
| Human factors | For car thieves, the forgetfulness and inattention of car owners is extremely important. On this they build their criminal schemes. | We must not forget the keys to the ignition switch, documents in the car. Not worth leaving open car unattended. Do not leave the car with the engine not turned off. This and much more can serve as a pretext for a car theft. |
Everything large producers automotive vehicles first of all, they try to solve problems on anti-burglary systems in car door locks.
It doesn't matter domestic auto industry solves such problems or a foreign one - everyone is concerned about the problem of break-ins and car thefts. The only difference is in the quality of the locking mechanisms.
So, for example, if some Lada models can be opened with a paper clip, then let's say Infiniti models are hacked in more sophisticated ways - only by cutting the casing.
The information on the car obtained from the traffic police database is reliable and helps to quickly navigate in the sale and purchase transaction, as well as in other circumstances when it is required to check the car for its status "cleanliness".
How stolen cars are found - this question is of interest to many motorists who have suffered from hijackers, who can act both alone and in whole groups. The statistics on theft and search in Russia as a whole are not the most comforting - according to various estimates, it is possible to find from 7 to 15 percent of stolen cars. That is, out of 100 cases, only 7-15 can be disclosed.
We have already told the readers of the portal site about. Now I would like to know exactly what methods are used to find stolen cars.
Of course, employees of internal organs do not reveal all their secrets, but an approximate picture can be drawn. First of all, the victim is required to report the theft to the police as soon as possible. This must be done so that the criminals do not have time to hide.
After you have provided all the data of the car and wrote a statement, information about the vehicle is entered into unified bases Traffic police and becomes available at all traffic police posts, traffic police patrol. The operation "Interception" begins - that is, cars that match the description will stop and check.
In addition, in each department of the traffic police there are groups of specialists dealing with stolen cars. From time to time, search activities are carried out when employees go to parking lots, parking lots, garages and repair shops, checking numbers and VIN-codes, checking documents from the owners. Special attention paid to those vehicles that are among the most stolen models.
When carrying out operational-search activities, the traffic police closely cooperates with the police. A criminal case is initiated and an ORD or ORM begins - operational-search actions / measures in the case of theft movable property... There is whole line teaching aids on how the ORD is carried out. They imply close cooperation of various departments, in addition, information is exchanged between the relevant services of different countries.
During the investigation, 3 typical situations may arise:
It also happens that operatives detain organized group individuals or solo hijackers, after which they find out if they are involved in other crimes.
Please also note that there are two terms used in legal practice to refer to a missing car:
The operatively marked, who is entrusted with the duties of conducting the case, applies all existing developments and methods in the search process: a thorough examination of the scene of the incident, the search for various traces and evidence - broken glass, traces of the car itself, cigarette butts, paint particles. Such an inspection helps to establish the method of theft, the approximate number of persons who committed the crime, the further fate of the car - towed, loaded onto a tow truck, left on their own.
The largest amount of evidence is found in the event that thieves entered the garage.
The next step is to inspect nearby yards with the victim. If everything is done promptly, then the criminals do not have enough time to hide far, in which case the car can be identified in parking lots, in garages, workshops.
Search for stolen cars using modern means
In parallel with the police, traffic police and traffic police posts work. Today, their capabilities have been significantly expanded due to the introduction of video and photo fixation cameras in large cities. Thus, at the end of 2013, the Web program was launched in Moscow, the main purpose of which is to analyze the movement of transport within Moscow. It can recognize the make and model of a car, as well as read numbers, immediately checking them against the base of stolen cars.
The huge database contains information on the routes of movement of many millions of Moscow cars. A simple principle is used here - most motorists always drive along the same routes. And if it suddenly turns out that a car that is registered in the North-Eastern Administrative District disappears from sight for a long time, and then suddenly it is noticed in the South-Western Administrative District, this may seem suspicious. And even if the number of the car has already been changed, the system will check whether it is listed in the bases of theft given brand... An alarm signal is sent to the duty inspector and he can check the given car on the spot.
According to statistics for 2013, thanks to this system, it was possible to find about four thousand cars, which amounted to approximately 40% of the total number of stolen cars. Whether this is true or not, we cannot confirm, but the "Web" system works so far only in Moscow and the nearest Moscow region, and has about 111 thousand cameras. Another license plate recognition system, "Stream", works in approximately the same way.
Employees also use trackers with or. But this is effective only if your car was equipped with this tool. Plus, professional hijackers know a million ways to disable or jam all of these tools.
Also, by and large, the police are well aware of almost all of us and suspicious individuals are always taken into account. Therefore, they will not be special labor find out from your numerous informants who was involved in the theft of this or that car.
But various factors affect:
The first place where the owner of a stolen car turns is the police station. But according to statistics, the police find only 20% of stolen cars. This is due to the heavy workload of employees and the lack of particular interest, since the search for a vehicle, for obvious reasons, is less important than the search for people. But for the owner it is important to find a car, since the car costs decent money, sometimes they save up for it for years. Search for stolen cars a private structure can also organize - a detective agency, which will in good faith look for a car, since it has a material interest in the fee.
How does a detective agency look for a hijacked auto?
To find a stolen car, it will take several agency employees and a lot of time to go around all known car sedimentation tanks. The search for stolen cars in Moscow and others is especially difficult. large cities our country. Therefore, the search for stolen cars, as a rule, requires an advance payment from the owner. The lack of an advance payment should alert you, it is possible that they are not going to look for a car especially, but only create an appearance. The fate of a stolen car can be different. The car can be disassembled and sold in parts for parts, they can interrupt the license plates with the help of illegal connections and put on record, or, again, illegally sell at a lower cost. Also, detective agencies often use the services of informants, they know the schemes of the hijackers. Going to an agency is much more productive than going to the police. The reward for the found car is quite large. It can go up to 30% of the cost. There may be reasonable question"Is there any point in looking for a car if it is insured?" If this thought occurred to you, it means that you have never worked with insurers. Insurance companies practically have to knock out payments. Particularly nimble insurance firms even organize their own "investigations", where they expose the owners as hijackers who want to profit from the payment. In any case, insurers try to minimize payments. So the search for stolen cars by the agency is economically justified.
Our agency "Mossysk" conducts search for stolen cars in Moscow and the region for many years. You can almost always find a car. And if it is not possible to find it, we inform the owner about it and do not mislead customers.
In our time, a car is becoming such an indispensable item that more and more often we cannot imagine how comfortably and fully it is possible to live without this means of transportation. Moreover, many car owners become attached to their car as to an animate being - they give their cars names, use only the best oils and care products, try to decorate the car and make it original and individual. And the more effort and emotion invested in your car, the harder its loss becomes - especially when it comes to theft. It is wrong and offensive that the car that you bought for your hard earned money will serve as a means of profit for criminals. Of course, the police will be able to help in this unpleasant situation - I must say that the percentage of disclosure of thefts about the country is quite high, so the chances that the car will return to you are not bad. But the workload of our law enforcement agencies can lead to the fact that the search for your car will be delayed. To speed up the process, you can try to search for a car in your channels or apply for additional help to private detectives. with the help of detective agencies is another very effective way to get your property back in a short time.
The stolen car is found
Searching for stolen cars, as a detective's job, is a specific activity, as it includes several features and nuances. So, in comparison with other property, the car has much larger dimensions - and it would seem that it is more difficult to hide it, especially if it remains unnoticed. But the mobility of the car gives an advantage to attackers in this matter - after all, by car you can easily leave the city and even the region, where it will be much more problematic to find this vehicle.
In general, an effective search for stolen cars in Moscow and other cities largely depends on how quickly the search is started. Getting started immediately increases the chances that the vehicle can be returned many times over. Therefore, if you are in such unpleasant situation, then do not rush to despair - contacting a detective agency will be the right decision on the way to returning your property.
How to work
Searching for stolen cars in Moscow requires well-defined actions, as well as a little luck - with the combination of these factors, you will get behind the wheel of your car again rather quickly. But if we cannot influence luck in any way, then professional and well-coordinated people can significantly advance us along the path of finding a car.
The main work on the search for a car includes the following actions:
The cost of searching for stolen cars is calculated individually for each client, since you can never say in advance how much effort it will take to find a car. However, in any case, this will be an incomparably more modest amount than the cost of a new car.
