Data shows an estimated 642,926 property crimes were reported in the United States between January and April 2025, which is a decrease of 13.2% from the 740,559 reported in the same period of 2024. Violent crimes saw a decline, as well, dropping by nearly 11% from the previous year.
While these statistics are good news, the insurance industry is still left to foot the bill in the aftermath of most property crimes, including auto theft. Triple-I reports that auto thefts dropped by 16.7% from 2023 to 2024, but there were still more than 850,000 vehicles stolen last year.
