Since the year 1996, North America and Canada is considered to be the capital for auto theft. Every three minutes in Canada, one car is stolen, according to a source. Auto thefts contributes to more than one third of all possessions crimes in USA and costs consumers, insurance companies, police and the government more than $1 billion every year.
Cars in cities beside the main waterways such as Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver and Halifax have more possibilities to be stolen. This is because; nearly more than 30 percent of the cars stolen in Canada are sold abroad. The remaining cars are given false identification numbers and they are resold to consumers who are unaware about this. These stolen cars are even chopped up for spare parts. Over the past ten years, theft charges have tripled in Regina and its nearly four times in Winnipeg.
