Canberra Times is reporting here about the car theft rate in the ACT.

How is it that in Australia we seem to have a car theft rate of 4 times higher than other developed nations.

Chief of Police Audrey Fagan “And 81 per cent of car thefts were resolved, with the cars found and offenders brought before the courts. ”

Doesn’t help when the Courts just let them go again to steal another car. You would think with things like the Clea Rose incident and Ram raids happening some of the Magistrates would start to take a hard stand on the common link – Car thefts.
