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.
