Probably related to all the Franco-Euro millionaires that abandoned the country due to the 75% income tax, meaning less people to torch cars.
They recently repealed the tax, so these torchers will be back in droves next year.
Not less people to torch cars, but less cars to torch. Our news here in NJ was proudly proclaiming that Camden NJ had less crime than last year; the last time I was there (several years ago) it was already undergoing “Detroitification” (depopulation). Crime fell because there are less people and businesses to prey upon.
