  1. You shouldn’t look at where they are stolen. You should look at where they end up.

  2. The UK is not in The Europe anymore.

    I demand a recount…

  3. Yeah because in Romania either the cars are shitty or they are nice but you don’t want to mess with the owner.

  4. France’s thefts are down because burnt cars can’t be robbed

  5. What’s the biggest foreign nationality group in Italy ?

  6. Romania is the safest because all the Romanians are in other countries stealing cars (this is a joke please don’t be upset)

  7. I was looking at which car was stolen the most in Italy: Fiat:

    1. Fiat Panda
    2. Fiat 500
    3. Fiat Punto

    I am guessing these are stolen to be sold piece by piece

  8. And all the insurance companies have the numbers of the thieves. Lot’s of times, they’ll pay a ransom for the stolen car and return it to the owner. Cheaper than paying for a new/replacement car.

  9. To be honest, I’ve never ever heard of a car being stolen ever in my life. Neither when I was a kid, nor now. So I’m not surprised at all that romania is among the safest.

  10. No shit.

    Spent 10 days there, rent a car, got all 4 tires stolen right outside the apartment in Rome. 1200 euros charged, could’ve been the car rental ppl themselves to scam me, who knows.

  11. I guess all the thefts from Romania are now in other European countries.

  12. Our cars are so old and shit they are not worth stealing.

  13. My car got broken into in Italy. The first and only time it ever happened to me

  14. Why the frack is Czechia always on top in these list. I hate this country. Well, atleast we made it into western Europe.

  15. There was a joke a few years ago in Italy that went like this: “look, I’ve just seen the new ad campaign from the Romanian government. It was brilliant! They said, come to Romania for your holidays, your car is already here!”

    While it wasn’t true, it speaks of what the perception was in Italy about who the perpetrators of car theft were.

    Disclaimer: I personally think most thefts are from Italians.

  16. friend from kosovo always says: kosovo is a nice country all the criminals are already in western europe

  17. travelled to Italy last year, it is crazy convenient how you dont need to rent a car when you travel. Just find the car closest to you and drive it away.

  18. Looks like Italian thieves have a soft spot for stylish joyrides!

  19. When you steal a car in Reykjavik, where do you go? What would you do with it?
