Auto theft ranks third among Burnaby's three tracked crime categories. Theft from vehicle is the most frequently reported category at 231 incidents, followed by break and enter at 136 incidents. Auto theft's count of 42 is substantially lower than both siblings — roughly one-fifth of theft from vehicle and less than one-third of break and enter. With only three categories tracked, auto theft occupies the final position by volume, though it still accounts for a notable share of overall incidents.
Auto theft sits a distant third in Burnaby's two-month 2026 window, with 42 incidents against 231 for theft from vehicle. The gap between first and third is nearly six-fold. No year-over-year shift is measurable — only 2026 data exists for this category. The 10.3% city share is modest but not negligible; readers might expect auto theft to feature more prominently given media coverage, yet vehicle break-ins dwarf actual thefts here. The absence of neighbourhood data prevents geographic analysis.
