Indeed, in a report published on Monday, July 28, we learn that at the national level, the number of lacins is falling 19.1 % for the first six months of the year compared to the same period in 2024.
Despite everything, the number of flights remains significant with 23,000 incidents declared during the period from January to June.
It was in Ontario and Quebec that the largest decreases were recorded, with declines of 25.9 % and 22.2 %, in order.
The collective efforts of governments and the police, public awareness of the threat of theft and the efforts of the manufacturers contributed to this decline. In Ontario and Quebec, we have even created units specializing in vehicle flights.
Elsewhere in the country, the decrees are there, but more modest; 12.5 % in Alberta, then 9 %, both for the Maritimes and for Western Canada.
What is interesting is to know that it is in Alberta that the number of flights per capita is the highest, with 4,411 stewed vehicles. It is 9,600 in Ontario, but, since this province is much more populous, its ratio per person is weaker.
Prudence remains
Despite the progress made, Canada’s insurance office has warned that it is still a “important concern” and that it is “far from being the only factor contributing to the increase in automotive insurance costs”.
“Inflation, customs tariffs, increased costs of repair and replacement of vehicles, legal pressures and regulatory challenges increase prices throughout the country,” the office said through a press release.
And as the owner of vehicles, it should never be forgotten that the criminal organizations which engage in vehicles will always find ways to bypass the efforts made to counter this scourge. It is therefore important to do everything to protect your vehicle.
