The number of cars stolen in Brno per year have dropped again – to 444 for 2008. The real number is even lower, as many people have destroyed their cars and then reported a theft to avoid paying new “eco” tax.
On the other hand, thieves are still interested in stealing luggage from cars – mostly GPS devices, notebooks, wallets, etc. The total value of (reported) stolen luggage was CZK 63M (€2.3M) last year.
