Possession Of Stolen Property reports in New York City

What 1,726 Possession Of Stolen Property reports measure

1,726 rows are coded Possession Of Stolen Property as NYPD labeled the report. That published string is not petit larceny, not grand larceny, and not burglary. Those taking-from-owner types remain separate. The official published label is "Possession Of Stolen Property." LocalCrimeVault does not rewrite that string.

The 1,726 figure is a count of incident records, not unique items and not recovered-property value. Readers looking for a combined theft-plus-possession total will not find it here. Adding larceny labels to 1,726 would mix events NYPD stored under different type fields.

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 Possession Of Stolen Property, it stays under that string here. This page does not split the 1,726 rows into vehicle, electronics, or other item 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 receiving stolen property names that never appear in this New York City list.

Possession is not the same published event as the original taking. Possession Of Stolen Property is 1,726 rows. Petit larceny, grand larceny, and burglary remain separate types. This extract is one harvest of NYC Open Data as indexed on LocalCrimeVault, not a property-room inventory.

Possession as a share of New York City reports

Relative to 400,500 New York City incidents, 1,726 reports coded Possession Of Stolen Property are about 0.4 percent of the city file. Named larceny types are much larger slices of the same extract. This page isolates the possession string only.

Keep the denominator in view: 0.4 percent of the indexed city total is not a crime rate. Rates need a population or exposure denominator that this packet does not include.

Reports, not convictions

A Possession Of Stolen Property 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 1,726 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 possession table

The type hub lists the 1,726 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 business or resident was involved.

Nothing in the 1,726 count tells you clearance, restitution, or whether property was returned. Those outcomes are outside this extract. If a filter reduces the table, you have left the headline on purpose.

A block range on a Possession Of Stolen Property row is not a pawn-shop address and not an item serial number. The 1,726 count does not say whether property was returned. Cite the unfiltered type hub when you mean 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 1,726 rows. The city-wide New York City hub places this possession label beside larceny types so the 0.4 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 1,726 / 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.

The headline count on this page is 1,726 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.

Questions

How many Possession Of Stolen Property reports are in the New York City index?

This extract includes 1,726 New York City incidents coded Possession Of Stolen Property. That is about 0.4 percent of 400,500 city incidents indexed on LocalCrimeVault. The figure counts police reports from NYC Open Data, not convictions or recovered-item totals. NYPD assigned the type; LocalCrimeVault does not reclassify charges.

Is possession of stolen property the same as petit or grand larceny?

No. This page covers only rows whose published type is Possession Of Stolen Property (1,726 reports). Named larceny types on the New York City feed are separate. Mixing categories would inflate totals. Use the city hub if you need the mix of all types against 400,500 reports.

Does a Possession Of Stolen Property incident mean someone was convicted?

No. Public incident rows are reports. They can remain in the open-data feed if no arrest was made, if charges were declined, or if the case was later unfounded and not yet removed. The 1,726 count should be read as report volume. Court records live outside this narrative.

Where does LocalCrimeVault get these New York City counts?

Counts come from New York City Police Department incidents published on NYC Open Data and indexed here. Offense types are NYPD offense classification as published. LocalCrimeVault does not reclassify charges. Compare the type table with the New York City hub if you need this label next to the other 400,500 city reports.
