PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Car theft in Portland has fallen to pre-pandemic levels following a surge in crime that caused Oregon to see the third-highest rate of stolen vehicles in the U.S. in 2022.
The number of cars stolen in Portland decreased by 25% between November of 2022 and November of 2023, Portland Police Bureau crime statistics show. Vehicle theft remained high in January and February of 2023, when the city was seeing an average of 30 cars stolen each day. However, the number of stolen cars steadily declined into the summer and remained well-below 2022 levels through the end of November.
