U.S. News compiled data on car thefts from the Federal Bureau of Investigation from 2014 – the most recent year for complete data from the bureau – to determine which of the 100 largest metro areas in the country had the highest rate of car theft.
Albuquerque, New Mexico, takes the top spot for highest rate of car theft, with a total of 6,131 thefts in 2014 and 676.9 thefts per 100,000 people. The City of Albuquerque acknowledges its high rate of auto theft on its website, noting New Mexico’s shared border with Mexico gives car thieves added incentive because they can take the stolen vehicles across the border and sell them.

But you don’t want to miss Stockton!

Thanks, I'm a Bakersfield native, but I've been gone since 1992.
Congrats on making it to TN.
Other than Milwaukee, all are right on the I5.
Probably getting funneled directly to Mexico
“Cali seems to be right up there. Why might that be?”
It’s part of our Diversity Outreach in Occupied California. It’s very easy to quickly load stolen cars in a shipping container and ship them out of the country. Not to mention the Mexican border.
Don’t be so hard on NM, we try to overcome
All well and good, but I legally own a 500 S&W and many magazines of over 10 round capacity. Freedom depends.
What about Newark, NJ? Not even in the top 10 anymore? How the mighty have fallen...
Gangs of illegals
Blue city in a red state.
...make probably all sanctuary cities...
I escaped Bakersfield last year - we’ve Gone Galt to Tennessee. After living in Mexifornia for ~22 years, it’s a breath of fresh air to be in the US now. Hope you get to do the same.
yeah, mine sportswear was stolen.
They called me two days later and told me to come pick it up. Told me to bring someone to drive me to the place so I could drive car.
Got there and my car had no tires, no doors, no seats, no dash, no tires, no anything. Everything had been stripped.

LOL... Youbetcha! You know better than question where those blood stains came from?
*Shoot-shovel-shut up!*
Happy and healthy New Year darling!
Live here in Albuquerque. It’s the wild west, and not in a good way.
