Stolen cars, auto thieves… This can be the worst nightmare for everyone! We don’t want to lose our car just like that, right? Auto theft activities are increasing in numbers nowadays especially in Metro Detroit and Michigan.

The Auto Channel reported that H.E.A.T. (Help Eliminate Auto Thefts) took action a few days ago after the Auto Theft Prevention Authority (ATPA) handed out the 2006 stats that shows a small increase in the number of vehicles stolen in Michigan.

"Auto theft statistics are often related to economic conditions. As the economy worsens, actual thefts increase, as well as insurance frauds disguised as theft as a way to dispose of vehicles that people can no longer afford. However, looking at the long term view, we deem the ATPA's 20-year statistics as a solid benchmark that proves our H.E.A.T. program is working. The data from 2006 does show higher incidences of theft in Detroit and in several other communities across the state, so H.E.A.T.'s job is far from over. We will continue encouraging community members to utilize our 24/7 toll-free tip line as a safe, anonymous way to report criminal activity, recover stolen property and help keep insurance rates down ," said Terri Miller, the director of H.E.A.T.
