1 Police Services included in this
table accounted for 72% of all vehicle thefts reported to police in 2002,
as captured by the Uniform Crime Reporting Survey.
2 The population estimates come from
the Annual Demographic Statistics, 2002 report, as produced by
Statistics Canada Demography Division. Populations as of July 1st: preliminary
postcensal estimates for 2002.
3 The number of stolen vehicles in
this table will not match the UCR Aggregate counts as released in the
Crime Statistics in Canada, 2002 Juristat in July of 2003 as
the data in this table represent only completed thefts, unless otherwise
stated. Further, the UCR Aggregate survey counts only the most serious
violation in an incident, whereas data in this table represent all completed
vehicle thefts, including those occurring in conjunction with more serious
offences. Also, the data in this table excludes incidents where vehicle
recovery status was coded 'Not Applicable'.
4 The number of stolen vehicles for
the following police services came directly from the police services:
Montréal, York Region, Toronto, Regina, Gatineau-Métro,
Winnipeg (includes attempts), St. John’s (includes attempts), Victoria
(includes attempts), the RCMP and the Sûreté du Quebec. Data
for the following police services came from the UCR2.0 Survey Halifax
and Calgary. Data for the following police services came from the UCR2.1
Survey: Vancouver, Kingston, Barrie, Saskatoon, Greater Sudbury, Windsor,
Edmonton, London, Ottawa and Thunder Bay.
5 The percent of stolen vehicles not
recovered for the following police services came directly from the police
services: Montréal, Halifax, York, Toronto, Calgary, the Sûreté
du Quebec, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Regina, St. John’s, Gatineau-Métro,
Victoria and the RCMP. Data for the following police services came from
the UCR2.1 Survey: London, Ottawa, Vancouver, Kingston, Barrie, Gatineau-Métro,
Saskatoon, Greater Sudbury, Windsor and Thunder Bay.
6 Rates are calculated on the basis
of 100,000 population.
7 Due to the rural nature of the areas
policed by the R.C.M.P.and the Sûreté du Québec, a
much higer proportion of recreational vehicles such as snowmobiles and
all terrain vehicles are stolen than in municipal police services. These
types of vehicles tend not to be recovered and are generally not connected
to organized vehicle theft. Therefore, data for the R.C.M.P. and the Sûreté
du Québec include only cars and trucks (including minivans and
SUVs).
