Seems to be a common trend in big cities right now, unfortunately. Thefts have nearly doubled in Philly since 2019. In Chicago, thefts are up 96% with more than 18,000 vehicles stolen in 2022 in compared to just over 9,000 in 2021. In NYC they had also nearly doubled compared to 2021 earlier this year, though I can’t find anything more recent.
