Auto thefts decrease
The good news is that the number of auto thefts went down 9.35 percent from 2009 to 2010. The bad news is that owners of 2000 Dodge Ram pickup trucks need to keep a watchful eye on their vehicle since that make is the one thieves target most.
The Michigan Automobile Theft Prevention Authority (ATPA) recently announced decrease and added that since the inception of ATPA in 1986, auto thefts in Michigan have fallen by 62 percent.
“Thanks also should be directed to our partners in the fight against auto crime: Crime Stoppers, HEAT (Help Eliminate Auto Thefts), and the many investigators around the state who are employed by the insurance industry.”
The ATPA is funded by an annual $1 assessment on each insured non-commercial passenger vehicle, plus interest earned by investing those funds. It is governed by a seven-member board of directors appointed by the Governor, which includes representatives of law enforcement, automobile insurers and consumers of automobile insurance. Each year the board awards grants to law enforcement agencies, prosecutors’ offices and nonprofit community organizations to prevent auto theft, catch auto thieves and put the thieves in jail.
