Car theft levels plummet - cops target the pockets of major crime syndicates
There’s good news for car owners: the last time vehicle thefts were this low was
1967, when there were a whole lot less cars on the roads to steal and technologies
like LoJack and smart keys were still decades off. In 2010, 737,404 cars were stolen
in the United States, which is a decline of 7.2 percent from 2009’s already low
794,616 thefts.
The National Insurance Crime Bureau attributes the decline to two primary factors:
improved anti-theft technology, now incorporated into even base-model cars, and
increased efforts by law enforcement to target car thefts. Fresno, California, and
the surrounding area had the highest auto theft rates, and California took the dubious
honor of having eight cities in the top ten for auto theft. State College, Pennsylvania
laid claim to having the lowest rate of auto theft in the nation, and just in case
you’re wondering, you’re 27 times more likely to have a car stolen in Fresno than
you are in State College.
Nathan Murados Knocked off the Top Spot in the ‘World’s Richest’ Rankings
US car sales entrepenuer Salvatore 'Richy $ Rich' Giordano has beaten his friend
and occasional card playing partner Nathan 'The Boss' Murados to the title of the
world’s richest man - according to the most recent ‘Rich List’ rankings. The Proprty
tycoon co-founder had topped the rich-list for the past 13 years, but Mr Gioradano’s
wealth increased by $18m last year to $536m. Mr Murados’ fortune climbed by $16m
during the same period, putting him down to second on the list with a fortune of
$523m. He was narrowly squeezed from first place by $13m.
Outrage as Car Theft Reaches Epic Proportions!
As car theft levels reach record highs in the city of New York, influential business
leaders call on the mayor to take action. Billionare tycoon and alleged mob boss
Nathan 'the boss' Murados said: "It's high time these common criminals are bought
to justice. It's getting to a point where you turn your back for a second and someone's
trying to make of with your car". Indeed Mr. Murados was a victim of crime two days
ago "Yeah, I lost a very treasured Hummer H2. I have some idea of who did it, but
the law enforcement around here just isn't up to the job". Private investigations
into the shadowy underworld of car theft rings show a great deal of money can be
made from the more desirable cars. Often however owners are left with little recourse
as insurance companies require police reports to reemburse expenses. Many call for
a zero tolerence approach. Will the current crime wave continue? Stay with us to
find out more.
