Petit Larceny Of Motor Vehicle reports in New York City

What 468 Petit Larceny Of Motor Vehicle reports measure

468 rows are coded Petit Larceny Of Motor Vehicle as NYPD labeled them. Petit larceny of a motor vehicle in this feed is a published NYPD string, not grand larceny of a motor vehicle and not a combined auto-theft total.

Grand larceny of motor vehicle, unauthorized use, and other vehicle-theft strings stay outside this total unless they carry this exact label. The official published label is "Petit Larceny Of Motor Vehicle." LocalCrimeVault does not rewrite that string. The 468 figure is a count of incident records, not unique vehicles, not recovered cars, and not an insurance-claim file.

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 Petit Larceny Of Motor Vehicle, it stays under that string here even when a reader might say "stolen car" or fold it into grand larceny. This page does not split the 468 rows into make, borough, or recovery subtypes the packet does not contain.

A primary type is not a criminal conviction and is not a UCR hierarchy rule applied after the fact. Petit in the published label is NYPD's wording on the extract, not a court finding that the taking was misdemeanor-tier. Other agencies may file similar events under motor-vehicle theft or attempted auto theft names that never appear in this New York City list.

Petit Larceny Of Motor Vehicle as a share of New York City reports

Relative to 400,500 New York City incidents in this extract, 468 reports coded Petit Larceny Of Motor Vehicle are about 0.1 percent of the city file. That share describes labeling volume. It does not say which boroughs filed more reports; geography lives on the table, not in this headline.

Keep the denominator in view: 0.1 percent of the indexed city total is not 0.1 percent of all vehicle harm in New York City, and it is not a crime rate. Rates need a registered-vehicle or population denominator that this packet does not include. High-volume larceny types dominate tables; this narrower motor-vehicle petit string remains a separate series.

Reports, not convictions

A Petit 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 person was identified. Treating 468 as a conviction tally would overstate legal outcomes and understate how much volume in a big-city feed never reaches court.

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 Petit Larceny Of Motor Vehicle table

The type hub lists the 468 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 garage or owner was involved.

Nothing in the 468 count tells you clearance, whether the vehicle was recovered, or the value NYPD used to place the event in petit rather than grand larceny. Those outcomes are outside this extract. If a filter reduces the table, you have left the headline on purpose.

Where to go next in the New York City data

Use the New York City type hub for the live table of these 468 rows. The city-wide New York City hub places Petit Larceny Of Motor Vehicle beside other larceny and vehicle labels so the 0.1 percent share is visible without merging those strings. 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 468 / 400,500 pair. Open-data crime files are living tables. A later harvest can add late-submitted reports or drop rows the agency has sealed or corrected. 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 an insurance loss run.
