Unauthorized Use Of A Vehicle reports in New York City

What 1,020 Unauthorized Use Of A Vehicle reports measure

1,020 rows are coded Unauthorized Use Of A Vehicle as NYPD labeled the report. That published string is not Grand Larceny Of Motor Vehicle, which is a much larger separate type on the same extract. The official published label is "Unauthorized Use Of A Vehicle." LocalCrimeVault does not rewrite that string.

The 1,020 figure is a count of incident records, not unique vehicles and not recovered cars. Combining this label with motor-vehicle grand larceny would invent an all-vehicle total NYPD did not publish as one field. Readers who want both should start from the city hub.

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 Unauthorized Use Of A Vehicle, it stays under that string here even when everyday speech says "joyride" or "stolen car." This page does not split the 1,020 rows into attempt or vehicle-class 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 vehicle-attempt-stolen names that never appear in this New York City list.

Unauthorized Use Of A Vehicle is easy to fold into stolen-car talk. NYPD kept it apart from Grand Larceny Of Motor Vehicle. This page holds 1,020 rows of the unauthorized-use string only. This extract is one harvest of NYC Open Data as indexed on LocalCrimeVault, not an insurance recovery file.

Unauthorized use as a share of New York City reports

Relative to 400,500 New York City incidents, 1,020 reports coded Unauthorized Use Of A Vehicle are about 0.3 percent of the city file. Grand Larceny Of Motor Vehicle is a larger published slice of the same extract. This page isolates the unauthorized-use string only.

Keep the denominator in view: 0.3 percent of the indexed city total is not a vehicle-crime rate. Rates need a population or vehicle-stock denominator that this packet does not include.

Reports, not convictions

An Unauthorized Use Of A 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 1,020 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 unauthorized-use table

The type hub lists the 1,020 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 1,020 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 an Unauthorized Use Of A Vehicle row is not a VIN and not a named owner. The 1,020 count does not say whether the vehicle 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 1,020 rows. The city-wide New York City hub places Unauthorized Use Of A Vehicle beside Grand Larceny Of Motor Vehicle so the 0.3 percent share is visible next to the larger vehicle-theft label. 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 1,020 / 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 1,020 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 Unauthorized Use Of A Vehicle reports are in the New York City index?

This extract includes 1,020 New York City incidents coded Unauthorized Use Of A Vehicle. That is about 0.3 percent of 400,500 city incidents indexed on LocalCrimeVault. The figure counts police reports from NYC Open Data, not convictions, recovered vehicles, or unique offenders. NYPD assigned the type; LocalCrimeVault does not reclassify charges.

Is unauthorized use the same as Grand Larceny Of Motor Vehicle?

No. This page covers only rows whose published type is Unauthorized Use Of A Vehicle (1,020 reports). Grand Larceny Of Motor Vehicle is a separate NYPD label. Mixing categories would inflate totals. Use the city hub if you need the mix of all types against 400,500 reports.

Does an Unauthorized Use Of A Vehicle 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 1,020 count should be read as report volume. Court records live outside this narrative.

Where does LocalCrimeVault get these New York City counts?
