Auto theft in Burnaby

This page covers auto theft in Burnaby, British Columbia, using open-data incident records from the city's published archive. The selected period is 2026 year-to-date through July, and the page reports 142 auto theft records for that partial year. Auto theft accounts for 10.4% of the 1,371 incidents in the city-wide total for the same archive and window.

The 142 count is taken from the latest calendar year in the full on-disk archive, not from the rolling 60-day map view. Auto theft is one of three category pages published for Burnaby in this dataset, alongside theft from vehicle and break and enter. Since 2026 data in this archive runs through July only, the 142 figure is a year-to-date total rather than a completed annual count.

How Auto theft compares

Auto theft ranks third among the three categories in Burnaby's published 2026 year-to-date data. The largest category in the archive is theft from vehicle, with 749 records, followed by break and enter with 480. Auto theft's 142 records are lower than both of those counts, putting it at the bottom of the three-category ranking. It represents 10.4% of the city-wide total of 1,371 incidents. The ranking is based only on the counts in the same open-data archive and the same 2026 YTD-through-July window; it is a count-based comparison only.

Key stats

What these numbers mean

Auto theft is the smallest of Burnaby's three published categories in the 2026 year-to-date period, sitting below theft from vehicle (749) and break and enter (480). The series shows 142 records in 2026 through July compared with 242 in the 2025 series; because 2026 is partial, this is not an annual decline. The category's 10.4% share of the city's 1,371 incidents is consistent with its third-place rank.
