No one could have imagined that such an epidemic would come before us in the 21st century. The epidemic ‘Corona’ has taken our lives to an unusual level. The work of time is untimely, and the work of untimely has become careless. Going to the office on a daily basis, chatting with friends, programs at varsity, birthdays, or wedding programs are big stops. Above all, there are abnormalities in all the arrangements of life. But even after everything has stopped, the world has not stopped. It is running according to its own rules. The epidemic did not stop, but murder, murder, abduction! But the statistics may say little.
At the same time, the theft of other people’s property does not stop. How many things are stolen every day, as well as car thieves, do not stop. Understanding the time and opportunity, the thief achieves his job at any time. In this epidemic, the house arrest of the people may have given a lot of opportunities to the car thieves. When you or I am under house arrest to reduce corona disease, car thieves have not stopped at that opportunity, they have jumped on the bandwagon, and car theft has increased.
Stagnation in our movement. Spending less time at home and in leisure time. Going out is not very common. So the car stays in its own position. Many times it is not known what condition the car is in. This long lack of contact with the car is making it easier for thieves to steal. Incidents are happening whose car is being stolen, he himself does not know, later found out after being caught by the police.
During the lockdown in Bangladesh, Prohori was able to rescue two vehicles through the vehicle tracking service! Seized the car thief!
Corona Seems to be Lucky for the car Thief Cycle
As seen in the big cities, the number of car thefts has increased since mid-March. One thing to note, however, is that car crime did not decrease, despite the fact that other crimes were somewhat reduced at the time. That’s according to New York City police. Similarly, in Los Angeles, the overall crime rate has decreased but car theft has increased.
According to the New York Police Department, car theft in the 28 days of the epidemic has increased by 53% compared to last year. In 2019 it was 303 at this time but in 2020 it stood at 464. It is also known that other crimes such as rape and robbery have decreased compared to the past. The theft rate has risen alarmingly. The police department is trying to reduce it. Police say the epidemic will send a message to those who consider themselves successful criminals that no one can or will catch them, “We are coming to you, we are looking for you, we are waiting for you.”
Car Thieves in the Country
While all types of crime have decreased in Los Angeles, car theft has increased somewhat. According to the Los Angeles Police Department, 1,390 car thefts were reported between March 15 and April 11. Which is 11.3% more than a month ago.
When the order to stay home came because of the Corona epidemic, in fact not everyone was very worried then, about their cars, it was unthinkable that car thieves would be more active in this epidemic than before.
Car theft has increased in many other cities. The thief continues his work as soon as the opportunity arises. Police say car theft increased by 75% in March compared to last year. Theft also increased at an alarming rate in Lincoln from February 18 to March 29. Compared to last year, it has increased by almost 99%.
However, the opposite has happened in the case of car theft. In other words, reckless car theft has not increased in all cities. In some cities, It’s lower than before. According to a Chicago City Police report, car thefts have dropped by 24 percent. And similarly, according to the Dallas Police, theft has decreased by 19 percent from March to April.
Despite everything, the rate of car theft is alarming. One thing is unclear, however, that the epidemic has increased the benefits of thieves in some cities, while it has decreased in many cities. However, the police are taking extra precautions in reckless car theft. They are not delaying to catch the culprits in the epidemic. In some places, epidemics have also reduced theft compared to last year. Above all, crime has decreased all over the world. Crime rates in New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago have reached double digits. According to the AP report, the crime rate in Corona has dropped, that’s not seen in previous years.
Sociologists say that crime has a very logical relationship with economic catastrophe, that is, when the economy goes down, crime increases, but there is also debate about this. The Corona Crisis has made it clear that wherever you are, keep your assets very carefully. Even if you are in lockdown yourself, you should take a good look at the lockdown of your assets.
