The latest figures from Stichting VbV, a Dutch vehicle crime insurance bureau reveal a concerning trend: in the first half of 2025, vehicle thefts have increased by a staggering 21% compared to the same period last year. This is bad news not only for private car owners, but especially for businesses with large fleets. A stolen vehicle means more than just financial loss—it leads to downtime, missed client appointments, and additional administrative burdens.
7,000 vehicles recovered thanks to smart tracking
The good news? Smart technology is making it possible to retrieve stolen vehicles. In just the first half of 2025, over 7,000 vehicles have been recovered across the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Bulgaria, and Poland. These quick recoveries are often thanks to vehicles equipped with IoT-based tracking solutions.
