What 9,911 Grand Larceny Of Motor Vehicle reports measure
9,911 rows are coded Grand Larceny Of Motor Vehicle as NYPD labeled the report. That published string is not unauthorized use of a vehicle and is not grand larceny of other property. The official published label is "Grand Larceny Of Motor Vehicle." LocalCrimeVault does not rewrite that string.
The 9,911 figure is a count of incident records, not unique vehicles, not recovered cars, and not insurance claims. Readers looking for a combined "all vehicle crime" total will not find it here: other traffic and theft labels remain in the rest of the 400,500-row extract.
How NYPD type labels work on this feed
Every row on the New York City open-data incident extract carries a type field drawn from NYPD offense classification as published. If a report was written as Grand Larceny Of Motor Vehicle, it stays under that string even when everyday speech says "stolen car." This page does not split the 9,911 rows into make, model, or attempt subtypes the packet does not contain.
A primary type is not a criminal conviction. A single field event can involve more than one offense; the public extract typically exposes one published type per row. Other agencies may file similar events under motor vehicle theft or vehicle-stolen names that never appear in this New York City list.
Vehicle theft language in news copy often mixes several NYPD strings. This page holds only Grand Larceny Of Motor Vehicle. Unauthorized use, other theft types, and traffic labels stay out of the 9,911 total. This extract is one harvest of NYC Open Data as indexed on LocalCrimeVault, not an insurance recovery file.
Vehicle grand larceny as a share of New York City reports
Relative to 400,500 New York City incidents, 9,911 reports coded Grand Larceny Of Motor Vehicle are about 2.5 percent of the city file. That share is a statement about how NYPD labeled the public feed, not a statement about parking risk on a given block.
Keep the denominator in view: 2.5 percent of the indexed city total is not a theft rate. Rates need a population or vehicle-stock denominator that this packet does not include.
Reports, not convictions
A Grand Larceny Of Motor Vehicle row means a report was taken and coded. It does not mean a prosecutor filed a charge, a judge entered a finding, or a vehicle was recovered. Treating 9,911 as a conviction tally would overstate legal outcomes.
New York City Police Department publishes the underlying incidents through NYC Open Data. LocalCrimeVault indexes that feed. If the agency later updates a record, the public count can move. This page describes the extract as harvested, not a forecast and not a neighborhood safety score.
How to read the vehicle grand larceny table
The type hub lists the 9,911 rows with the fields NYPD shares publicly: date, coarse location, and related attributes. Block ranges are intentionally coarse. They are not street-number addresses, and they are not proof that a named owner or plate was involved.
Nothing in the 9,911 count tells you clearance, recovery, or insurance outcome. Those fields are outside this extract. If a filter reduces the table, you have left the headline on purpose.
A block range on a Grand Larceny Of Motor Vehicle row is not a parking-lot address and not a VIN. The 9,911 count does not say how many cars were returned. If you subset the table by month or borough, cite the subset size instead of repeating the city-wide headline.
Where to go next in the New York City data
Use the New York City type hub for the live table of these 9,911 rows. The city-wide New York City hub places this vehicle label beside other theft types so the 2.5 percent share is visible in context. A cross-city view of the same type slug exists; definitions still follow each agency's feed.
If you are documenting a method, record the extract and the 9,911 / 400,500 pair. Open-data crime files are living tables. Cite the overlay table for row-level fields. Keep reports and convictions in separate sentences. Do not treat this guide as a live dispatch feed or a court docket.
The headline count on this page is 9,911 indexed reports for the published type label against a city file of 400,500 reports. LocalCrimeVault indexes the public incident feed for New York City. Cite the overlay table for row-level fields. Keep reports and convictions in separate sentences. Do not treat this guide as a live dispatch feed, a victimization survey, or a court docket. If a later harvest moves the integer, the new snapshot is a new citation, not a silent revision of this page.
