The National Insurance Crime Bureau reports the stolen car rate in Milwaukee jumped 72 percent last year.
A report from the Bureau says no other American city experienced such a rapid increase.
When measured by the total number of cars stolen Milwaukee ranked eighth – with Bakersfield, California topping the list.
The numbers from 2021 mark the first time Wisconsin’s largest city has ever made the ranking – a dubious honor.
About 10,500 cars were taken during 2021 in Milwaukee.
