During the day we are seeing more thefts taking place where there are a large number of car gathered, in a public shopping place for example. Then homes are going to continue to be targeted more so at night. |

You might have your theft that might not be too involved in it and just do it on the side. And you have those who make it their day-to-day business are the ones that do it as business are going to be the better. |
Your joy-rider will just be for the thrill of stealing a car and driving it. And the one that steals it for your transportation has a purpose in mind. |
