In the first eight months of the year, the thefts were a whopping 27 percent higher than in the previous year, which causes the citizens to be excited.

less police presence, more thefts?

But what is behind this dramatic climb? More and more vehicles disappear without a trace, and the local authorities admit that despite their efforts, the points at which the thefts take place must continue to be observed.
