Auto theft is one of nine incident categories tracked in Medicine Hat's open-data archive. This page covers the published records for that category, with the selected period set to 2026 year-to-date through July. The count shows 60 auto theft incidents in that window, equal to 0.5% of the city's 11,660 total incidents across all categories. These are archive counts from the full dataset, not the rolling 60-day map view.
The archived year series lists 15 auto theft records for 2025 and 60 records for 2026 (YTD through July). Because 2026 is still in progress at the time the data was generated, the two figures are not directly comparable as full-year totals. The 60 figure is instead the published year-to-date count for the current calendar year.
Among Medicine Hat's published categories, Auto theft ranks sixth of nine by count. The five categories above it are Other (10,261), Mischief (458), Fraud (327), Assault (308), and Break and enter (192). With 60 records in the selected 2026 YTD period, Auto theft trails each of those categories. Its 0.5% share of total incidents reflects 60 records out of 11,660 citywide incidents. The category page therefore sits closer to the lower end of the nine-way breakdown, even though its raw count is in double digits. No siblings below it are listed, so the full gap to the bottom three categories is not visible in this feed.
Auto theft is a modest part of Medicine Hat's published incident mix. Its 60 records in the 2026 YTD period are far below the leading categories, and its 0.5% share of the city total is small. The archived series jumps from 15 records in 2025 to 60 in 2026, but the latter is a year-to-date figure through July, not a complete year. That limits any trend reading; the noticeable increase is nevertheless visible in the series.

The available year series spans two years: 15 auto theft records in 2025 and 60 records in 2026 year-to-date through July. Because the 2026 figure is YTD and not a full calendar year, it should not be read as a completed annual total or a direct year-over-year change. No percent change is published for this category.
