Thefts

The first three months of 2025 in Illinois have been like the worst parts of the movie Gone in 60 Seconds with hundreds of vehicles stolen, but there's good news, too.

A doorbell security video appears to show a delivery guy in Illinois allegedly stealing what he just delivered to the home.

I don't understand why anyone would be heartless enough to do this. Statistics are showing that dog thefts in Illinois are skyrocketing and there's no good reason why.

If you suddenly see the number of carjackings start to decline in Illinois, I know why. The Illinois State Police have spent the past several months bringing the hammer down on those who steal vehicles and the results of their operation are impressive.

If you've shopped at a convenience store in Canton, Missouri recently, you need to keep a close eye on transactions through your bank as police have confirmed a card skimmer has just been located there.

If you are a boat owner, I have some of the worst news you'd ever want to hear especially just prior to Memorial Day Weekend. The Missouri Highway Patrol says boat thefts are alarmingly on the rise.

Even though I do have some outlaw blood in me, I'd never recommend that you or anyone else break the law. However, if you really need to have your vehicle stolen, I have it on good information that you really should consider parking it in Missouri.

I drive a vehicle that is now 18 years old so it's not surprising my car is not on the list of the most stolen vehicles in Missouri, but there are 3 models that get ripped off from their owners more than any others.

If you think you're safe in Missouri just because you have a hi-tech security system, think again. Reports say gangs are now using their own elicit technology to scramble home security systems so they can break into expensive homes.

Before I found the statistics, I had a perception of where I thought you'd be most likely to have your vehicle stolen in Missouri. I was very wrong and there's a good chance that the city in the Show Me State you think would have the highest percentage of vehicle thefts is not where you think, too.
