California led the nation in total vehicle thefts last year and ranked among the top 10 states for car thefts per capita, according to a report released last month by the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB), an Illinois-based nonprofit dedicated to fighting insurance fraud.
The Golden State reported the most vehicle thefts in 2022, reporting 203,018. Texas had the second-highest number, reporting 105,133, followed by Washington state with 46,990, Florida with 46,020, and Colorado with 42,706.
