Increase, actually. Calgary has a roughly 80% recovery rate for stolen vehicles, but it generally takes 2-4 weeks. What usually happens is that someone takes it and joyrides it off to do whatever they do. Then they ditch it. After about 2-3 weeks, the folks who live where the vehicle is ditched begin to notice that the vehicle is not being moved and call the police (or Parking Authority) to check in about it. It's then discovered to be stolen, and returned.
