An analysis of 8,303 incidents, over three and a half years between 1998 and 2001, of thefts and attempted thefts of cars in the Northumbria and Greater Manchester areas concludes that there does appear to be some evidence of an increase in the theft of keys over time, particularly through burglaries.
