According to an article at nasdaq.com car theft jumped dramatically in the country during the pandemic. Reports of stolen cars were up almost 10% in 2020 compared to 2019 according to the National insurance Crime Bureau.
Although a stolen car would be covered under a comprehensive insurance policy, the insurance company is likely to pay on the amount the car is worth at the time of the theft, leaving the vehicle owner holding the bag to cover the rest of the loan if the vehicle is not paid off.
