\u2018The motor insurance sector has been grappling with a surge in vehicle theft \u2013 a problem most prevalent in the high-value vehicle market\u2019 with a \u201825% year-on-year increase<\/strong>\u2019 according to \u2018consumer intelligence\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Whilst the scarcity of available used cars may have an effect, criminals potentially retaining the vehicles for personal use, or selling on, the latter appears less likely.<\/p>\n

As the only \u2018adverse history\u2019 investigators for Vehicle Provenance companies (who provide DVLA, stolen, total loss and finance checks), we have seen a marked drop in claims for \u2018clones\u2019.\u00a0 This suggests stolen vehicles are being broken for parts or shipped abroad.<\/p>\n

This possibly also accounts for the lack of vehicle recovery, as high as 80% some 20 years ago but now just 6% reported by Kent police<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Given the \u2018cost of living crisis\u2019 it appears more bizarre that constabularies, such as Kent, have recorded almost zero false theft allegations.\u00a0 Seemingly no one is alleging vehicle theft to dispose of a financial burden and those vehicles apparently stolen, found crashed, cause no eyebrows to be raised; just \u2018give them a crime reference number for insurance purposes\u2019 (Suella Braverman)*<\/a><\/p>\n

It appears accepted the police do not investigate (Kent knew how to), but why would they obstruct others doing so and delay the resolution of a claim.\u00a0 It is one thing to be the victim of a theft, it is quite another to find, contrary to \u2018guidance\u2019, that some constabularies are not \u00a0supporting victims of crime by expediting the finalisation of their insurance claim (Agreement<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Possibly the dramatic increase in premiums will provide another incentive for some to \u2018suffer a theft\u2019 \u2026 but who will know<\/strong>?<\/p>\n

*Ms Braverman said she had come across “far too many complaints” from people who had things stolen and “calling up the police only to be given a crime reference number for insurance purposes<\/em>“.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
