Another interesting statistic? "Fraudsters" who'd been with their company for more than five years "stole twice as much."
If you nick a pencil a day and a notepad per week then you will tend to get more the longer you're there. This is like, maths and stuff.
Also, the ones who are really shit at getting away with it tend to get caught & fired, thereby removing themselves from the pool. They should invent a name for that - survivorship bias, or something.
The VIN of a car is usually engraved on a plate attached to some part of the bodywork that you aren't likely to replace. With scooters the repair shop may end up taking the deck of one, the forks of another and the motor of a third to make a working Frankenstein jobby.
So they end up with systems that work as originally designed but fail to keep pace with improvement in technology.
And this matters why, exactly?
My car is a pickup truck but my state's outdated registration system lists it as a station wagon because it relies on old and hard to fix technology and that was the best it could do.
Are they using bits of leather and bird wings dipped in soot? The term "pickup truck" predates computers.
Now you'll hear some idiots saying "ain't broke don't fix it" which is is a poor argument for technology that clearly so far behind the state of the art.
If it fulfils the requirements the state of the art can go fuck itself. If that makes me an idiot in your eyes, remember that when you multiply two negatives that makes a positive.
Did you pause to think that maybe the reason the safety numbers are better than your list of the worst, is because the police follow safety practices which include taking no chances when approaching a stolen vehicle?
My definition of safety practices might differ slightly from theirs (and yours).
One key point of contention might revolve around having a sniper shoot them from several hundred yards away.

They should make them from wood or very small stones, and then they'd float.
And if they don't, burn them!
Wired is what product managers and SEO influence facilitators read if they find New Scientist too taxing.
GP probably thinks a person's social security number is unique, and if it isn't then surname concatenated with birth date absolutely has to be.
Call me low-tech, but If I was in that business I'd go round smacking competitors' machines with a hammer,

That falls under reuse, doesn't it?

Hoy them out of the airlock.
They'll come down sooner or later.

Perhaps the pilot didn't have time to go to the toilet so he was peeing in a bottle.

Fucking rubbish.
A contract involves obligations both ways.
If I signed a 5 year lease on a property and one week after the roof fell in I wouldn't owe one bent penny from that point.
This is not a word, but it should be.

Oh wait.
Ooooh, that was a cutting remark.
It's a sign that maybe it's about time.
We've had a decent, albeit unspectacular, innings. Let the ants have a chance, or maybe the cephalopods.
It is proper name? WTF is that even supposed to mean?
They don't call it "wogball" anymore?
Ad hominem.
It's not a good idea to repeat in writing things you've heard grown-ups say.

Nope, you lost me there.
Try again, but with cars.
