The Governor’s Highway Safety Program is observing July as Vehicle Theft Prevention Month.  In 2024, nearly 900,000 vehicles were stolen nationwide. Maryland had over 25,000 vehicle thefts.  Summer months have the highest reported occurrences of vehicles being stolen in the United States.  The Governor’s Highway Safety Program reminds vehicle owners to park in well-lit areas, hide valuables, close windows and lock doors, and use anti-theft devices.
