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.
