FBI statistics showed that the Las Vegas metro area saw a 35% decline in motor vehicle thefts from 2023 to 2024. That was twice the national rate: a 17% decrease. It had nothing to do with police solving any car thefts though

National reports credited better anti-theft technology, including moves by automakers Hyundai and Kia to make improvements to reduce theft. Also cited: supply chains are closer to normal, removing the incentive for thieves to steal vehicles for parts.

FBI statistics showed few auto thefts are solved by police. In 2024, Metro’s clearance rate was 8.7%, Henderson was 4.3% and North Las Vegas trailed at 2.4%.
