Vehicle thefts in the United States are at their lowest point since 1967 -- and observers say there are good reasons for that.
The FBI's preliminary 2010 crime statistics, published in May, showed that the number of vehicles stolen in 2010 was down 7.2 percent from the 794,616 stolen in 2009.
That figure has been declining for seven consecutive years, according to the National Insurance Crime Bureau.
"While improved anti-theft technology and law-enforcement efforts have had a significant impact on thefts, professional criminal rings and gangs are active in parts of the country and stopping them is the ongoing challenge," said Joe Wehrle, CEO and president of the insurance crime bureau.
