Theft rates are falling excluding vehicle theft

Why are you arbitrarily excluding vehicles?

why are you arbitrarily pretending that makes up for all other forms of theft?

When did I do that?

Your initial comment had such suggestive phrasing when taken in turn with the comment that person replied to before you edited the first one.

Before it simply said theft is on the rise, which is simply true, even using the grandparent link, unless for some reason you don’t count cars.

However I edited since whether or not it’s on the rise is actually irrelevant to my point.

Theft is on the decline including vehicle theft because vehicle theft is a small portion.

Expand the x axis and that’s not true. Go look at their source.

I was responding to a statement you made that you’ve now edited out of existence. So who’s to say? Maybe it was relevant.
