In a year when many types of crime have risen in New York City, none has spiked more than car theft.As of Dec. 18, over 13,000 cars had been stolen in the city this year.That's a 32% jump compared to 2021 and it's more than any year since 2006, according to NYPD complaint data."Auto thefts are a major concern for New Yorkers, especially in car-reliant areas and transportation deserts like the outer boroughs," said Council Member Kamillah Hanks of Staten Island, who chairs the council's public safety committee.
