In a continent where mobility is key, the fear of having our vehicle stolen becomes one of the biggest concerns when visiting new places. In that sense, the ‘Landgeist’ website has made a map with car theft rates in Europe, revealing the areas most likely to suffer from this crime. According to the website, despite the general downward trend, some regions present alarming figures. Italy, in particular, stands out as a country that suffers a major problem in this regard, with southern Italy leading the ranking as the place with the highest probability of car theft in all of Europe. Data collected by Eurostat, based on police reports from each country, shows reported thefts of motorized land vehicles per 100,000 inhabitants. In terms of vehicle theft rates, Italy leads the European ranking, with the south of the country making the difference significantly. This pattern suggests that, despite efforts to control crime in Europe, regional disparities persist and southern Italy is presented as a point of urgent attention in this matter.

As for Spain, Madrid and Barcelona are the areas with the most automobile crime, ranging between 75 and 150 thefts per 100,000 inhabitants. Other areas that stand out on this crime map include Greece, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Sweden, East Germany, and parts of Turkey. On the other hand, ‘Landgeist’ has clarified that “it must be taken into account that Eurostat data is based on police reports from each country. The number of unreported vehicle thefts can vary from country to country. “This could mean that the actual rate of motor vehicle theft could be higher in some areas.” A discrepancy that underlines the need for closer cross-border cooperation and the implementation of additional measures to address the reporting of these crimes.
