In a scenario that blends advances in public safety and the persistence of old problems, vehicle theft and burglary rates in the state of São Paulo presented a significant decrease in the first quarter of 2024.

Although the number of occurrences decreased by 11% compared to the same period in 2023, some curiosities about the models most targeted by criminals catch attention.

In this article from Click Petróleo e Gás, we will explore this situation with a detailed analysis, highlighting the most stolen vehicles and the curiosities of this phenomenon.

In 2024, the state of São Paulo recorded 18,961 occurrences of vehicle theft and burglary, according to data from Ituran Brasil and the Public Security Secretariat of São Paulo (SSP-SP).

The Most Stolen Vehicles

The Volkswagen Gol maintained its position as the most stolen car in São Paulo, with 1,342 occurrences recorded. This number, although high, represents a reduction compared to the 1,618 cases in 2023.

The Chevrolet Onix and the Fiat Uno swapped their positions compared to last year, with the Onix in second place with 885 cases and the Uno in third, with 868.

Here is the complete list of the most stolen vehicles in the first quarter of 2024:

Volkswagen Gol: 1,342 cases
Chevrolet Onix: 885 cases
Fiat Uno: 868 cases
Hyundai HB20: 864 cases
Chevrolet Corsa: 847 cases
Fiat Palio: 720 cases
Ford Ka: 573 cases
Fiat Argo: 522 cases
Fiat Strada: 462 cases
Volkswagen Fox: 451 cases

The Substitution of Models and the Reasons Behind the Thefts

An interesting point in the comparison of the years is the substitution of the Renault Sandero by the Fiat Strada in the 2024 list. The Strada, which is the best-selling model in Brazil until May 2024 with 49,050 registrations, became the eighth most stolen car in the state.

According to Ituran Brasil, the demand for parts from older vehicles in the parallel market is one of the main reasons for these thefts. Vehicles such as the Chevrolet Onix, Hyundai HB20, Fiat Argo, and Fiat Strada still have current generations in production, but they are exceptions in a list dominated by older models.

Decline in the Index by Cities

The capital of São Paulo continues to lead the rankings among cities with the highest rates of vehicle theft and burglary, despite a 3% reduction in occurrences. The number of cases fell from 9,158 in the first quarter of 2023 to 8,858 in 2024. Neighborhoods such as Tatuapé, Itaquera, Vila Matilde, and Sapopemba, all in the East Zone, are the most affected.

Other cities also showed significant declines:

Santo André: decrease of 21%
São Bernardo do Campo: decrease of 13%
Campinas: decrease of 4%

On the other hand, Guarulhos was the only city that showed an increase of 14% in cases, rising from 722 to 825 occurrences in the same period.

A Long Way to the End of the Cases

The 11% reduction in vehicle thefts and burglaries in São Paulo is a relief for residents, but the data shows that there is still a long way to go.

Older models continue to be the main targets, and the demand for parts in the parallel market keeps these vehicles attractive to criminals.

In this sense, it is noted that the capital of São Paulo and cities like Guarulhos must continue to implement security measures to combat this problem, while vehicle owners need to be increasingly vigilant and informed about the best ways to protect their assets.

So, reader! Do you own any of these vehicles? What do you think are the main measures to prevent these thefts? Let us know in the comments!

A Long Way to the End of the Cases

While in Brazil a 10-story building takes 2 years to complete, in China a company stacks pre-fabricated modules and raises the entire building in just 28 hours and 45 minutes.

BRICS is preparing a payment system inspired by the Brazilian PIX that will allow direct transactions between countries using national digital currencies without relying on the dollar or Western banks as intermediaries.

Ethiopia has banned gasoline and diesel cars, placed over a hundred silent electric buses on the streets of Addis Ababa, and now aims for half a million electric vehicles by 2030, all powered by Africa’s largest dam and a courage that few countries have shown.

On the coast of China, fishermen received an official reward after finding 10 foreign underwater devices capable of “stealing secrets” in just two years, showing that the silent war for the seabed has already reached the nets of those who rely on fishing.

A view from space, an image made by NASA shows the impressive Richat Structure, a geological formation located in the Sahara Desert, also known as the “Eye of the Sahara.”

In the South Atlantic, three isolated volcanic islands cause the wind to draw perfect spirals visible from space: a rare phenomenon called von Kármán vortex streets forms symmetrical patterns behind the peaks of the South Sandwich Islands and was recorded by the NOAA-20 satellite in 2025.

Solar-powered ice factory in the Amazon that eliminated a 5-hour trip to Manaus, prevents the loss of up to two-thirds of the fish, and now ensures income for more than 30 riverside families.

The largest home appliance manufacturer in the world closed its factory in Argentina and decided that Brazil will absorb everything, transferring machines, production, and supply of entire markets to the unit in Rio Claro, São Paulo, with an investment of nearly R$ 200 million.

As the world watches with concern, Russia and North Korea are strengthening ties with the first road bridge in history between the two countries, capable of transporting 300 vehicles per day, and the inauguration scheduled for June marks a new phase of the alliance between Putin and Kim.

China has just successfully tested the world’s first ground effect maritime vehicle, a craft that flies up to 6 meters above the water at 200 km/h, uses quantum technology and 6G communication, and can rescue patients in the middle of the ocean.

The extratropical cyclone that formed in the ocean is already pushing a cold front with heavy rains over the South of Brazil, and meteorologists warn that Thursday will be the most dangerous day, with significant amounts of rain and cold advancing into Paraguay.

The war in the Middle East has already cost Brazil $882 million in exports that did not leave the country in a single month, with pork falling by 59% and soybeans declining by 25%, and now the agribusiness sector is rushing to find new buyers before the losses double.

A 1953 Fusca that almost no one knows exists can be auctioned for R$ 570,000 in Brazil, and the reason it is worth so much money surprises even experienced collectors.

With 1,900 horsepower, 2,300 Nm of torque, and acceleration from 0 to 100 in less than 2 seconds, the Italian electric hypercar Pininfarina Battista costs 2 million euros — and only 150 will be produced worldwide.
