1 2002-2004 FBI Uniform Crime Reports
2 Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles
3 Computation of loss figures: 2004 FBI Uniform Crime Reports (latest figures available) estimated 63% of the autos stolen were recovered, which means 37% of vehicles stolen were not recovered.  The FBI also estimated that the unrecovered stolen autos had an average value of $6,108.  To obtain the "Direct Losses–Value of Unrecovered Vehicles" estimates, 37% of the number of 2004 motor vehicle thefts for a given city was multiplied by the average dollar amount ($6,108).  These computations do not take into consideration costs associated with damage to the stolen but recovered vehicles, law enforcement, court administration, injuries, or damage to other property.
