As others pointed out, this is break-ins, not cars being stolen. Typical cost of a break-in is one window. I have no idea how much that costs, but let's say $1000, which is probably 10x too much. That comes out to $1000 x 0.0364 = $36/yr.


This mindset that crime shouldn't be punished is so strange to me. Why is it okay for someone to go around breaking windows and stealing stuff? Because when the people realize they're suckers for following the law, they'll stop following the law, then everyone will be doing it, and there won't be enough police in the world to pick up the pieces.
