What these figures mean for car insurance
The figures are the number of vehicle thefts and carjackings reported to the police in the province. They describe how often the crime was reported, not how likely it is for any one vehicle, street or driver.
Theft and carjacking are among the events car insurance is built around. Whether a claim for a stolen or hijacked vehicle is paid depends on the type of cover in the policy, its terms and its conditions, which the licensed provider who calls you can explain.
