This report will describe a line graph comparing four different countries’ car theft amounts during a nine-year period.

Overall, it can be clearly seen that the United Kingdom had the highest number throughout the period, and France and Canada’s amounts were at the bottom.

In 1990, the United Kingdom started the pattern at around 18,000 car thefts, while the other three countries’ amounts were less than 10,000. However, in the next year, the figure for Sweden rose to just below 10,000. In contrast, France and Canada’s figures steadily decreased, reaching 6,000 and 5,000 respectively in 1993.

On the other hand, the United Kingdom’s amount saw a small fluctuation in the beginning years. After that, it reached its peak, with approximately 26,000 in 1996. Also, Sweden’s vehicle theft number steadily increased to 15,000, which was its peak, in 1999. In contrast, the amount of thefts in the United Kingdom experienced a noticeable decrease to merely 17,000 in the last given year. The figures for France and Canada were relatively stable over time.
