I've never lived somewhere where cars weren't the most common method of transportation and I've only heard about bikes being stolen. Probably because it's just so much harder to steal a car whereas you can feasibly just carry a bicycle on your back.

There used to be a lot of casual car theft in the UK. Teenagers would steal the car and go off joyriding.

That has largely stopped as the cars have become more secure.

That's why it's bad to rely on anecdotes. Car theft is up in 2019 and 2020 in the US https://www.iii.org/fact-statistic/facts-statistics-auto-the...
