The given line graph illustrates thefts per thousand vehicles in four countries – Great Britain, Sweden, France, and Canada – within a nine-year period of time. The three out of four countries are shown as three different graphs with a unique distinguishing geometric symbol: a triangle, square, or rhombus.
Overall, the number of car thefts in the U.K. remained dominant by a large margin, while the number of vehicle robberies in Canada was negligible compared to the other three countries. From 1990 to 1992, the number of car theft cases in Great Britain marginally increased hitting its peak of 20,000 stolen cars; meanwhile, after 1992 to 1993, it showed an insignificant decline reaching its plateau of approximately 17,000 stolen cars.
From 1990 to 1996, the number of stolen cars in Sweden showed an upward pattern; however, from 1996 to 1998, the graph remained flat; hence, the number of car thefts in Sweden did not exceed 12,000. From 1998 onwards, the number of stealing began increasing slightly.
France showed an inverse correlation with Canada, from 1990 until 1991, while after 1991, the number of thefts showed a negative pattern before starting to rise slightly in 1993. After that, in 1999, both graphs intersected at a point of approximately 6,000 number of stolen vehicles.
