And you're more likely to have your car swiped in some areas more than others.

The New Haven-Milford metro area had the most vehicle thefts reported in 2019 than any other metropolitan district in Connecticut, according to insurance.com, which tracks vehicle thefts. More than 2,000 motor vehicle thefts were reported there last year.

For the many people who have had their cars broken into and stolen this summer, this is a confirmation of what they’re living.

AAA says Connecticut ranks 38th on a list of vehicle thefts per state (the higher the number, the fewer cars are stolen), according to Fox61.

In Connecticut the communities with the highest car theft rates are:

New Haven-Milford metro area - 2,192 motor vehicle thefts in 2019, to say it another way, that's 256 vehicles stolen per 100,000 people.
