San Diego Car Theft Trends Drop | San Diego News

San Diego’s car thefts dropped nearly 19% last year, with neighborhoods like San Ysidro seeing a dramatic cut—over half fewer stolen vehicles—but Pacific Beach actually saw an uptick. While tech like license plate readers is credited for the decline and may deter other crimes, Otay Mesa still tops theft stats, and Jeep Wranglers remain the most targeted cars—though even those numbers fell. Police urge everyone to lock doors, hide spare keys, and consider GPS trackers or kill switches to keep your ride safe.
