August 12, 2008 - What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas, according to the city's promotions -- but that might not apply to your car.
A survey released on Tuesday by the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) showed that Las Vegas is the metro area with the highest rate of vehicle theft in the United States. In second place came Stockton, California, followed by Visalia-Porterville, California, and Phoenix-Mesa-Scottsdale in Arizona. Modesto, California, which topped the list for three consecutive years as the area with the worst per capita vehicle theft rate, fell to the number five position. "As in 2005, the western United States still ranks as the area of the country with the highest auto theft rates. All of the nation's top ten areas are in the west with five of them in California," the NICB said in a statement. The NICB said in 2006, 22,441 vehicles were stolen in Las Vegas-Paradise which gave it the highest theft rate. The rate is determined by the number of theft per 100,000 inhabitants. The NICB said it reviewed data supplied by the National Crime Information Center for each of the nation's 361 metropolitan statistical areas for its annual vehicle theft survey. **Get protection!
