Newly analyzed data reveal a 25% decrease in vehicle thefts within the state, according to the Arizona Automobile Theft Authority (AATA).

Data compiled by the Auto Crime Tracker database shows that in 2025, vehicle thefts totaled 12,686.

Compared to the 17,010 vehicles stolen in 2024, thefts decreased significantly, marking the third consecutive year Arizona has seen a decrease in vehicle thefts.

The 12,686 vehicle thefts are a new record low since the AATA’s inception in 1992. Previously, the record low was 16,785 in 2015.

The top 10 most popular vehicles stolen in Arizona include the Chevrolet Silverado, which remains the top stolen vehicle, followed by Kia and Hyundai, representing four of the top six spots, and pickup trucks occupying four positions.

Most of the thefts are concentrated in the state’s largest cities.

Every city in the top 10 has shown a significant decrease in thefts for 2025.

The City of Peoria, for example, has dropped out of the top 10, going from the #7 position with 301 thefts in 2024, to outside the top 10 with 168 thefts in 2025.
