Even with the theft rate down 7.9%, the absolute number staying huge is a deep-rooted issue for two-wheelers in European cities. Back in my London days too, theft was an everyday topic.

Getting stolen once wrecking your insurance no-claim grade is the most painful part.

MCIA also says the absolute numbers are still huge, so even with the rate down it doesn't feel like much has changed.
