FBI data for the Everett Police Department shows 1,239 vehicle thefts in 2023, 898 in 2024 and 320 in 2025. The department's own crime analysts put 2025 at about 21 stolen vehicles a month, down 65% from an average of about 60 a month over the previous three years.

Everett is the largest city covered by the Snohomish County Auto Theft Task Force (SNOCAT), which recovered 314 stolen vehicles in 2025 and follows cases into King, Skagit, Island and Whatcom counties. Its 2025 investigations included re-VINned vehicles, fraudulent RV consignments and auction-related thefts, and detectives use snake cameras to confirm altered or hidden VINs. Everett police also use Flock license plate cameras, which logged 70 stolen-vehicle hits in December 2025.

Cameras and task forces exist to find cars that are already gone. The better result is a car that never moves: when Titan is armed, it won't start or drive away, and you get the tamper alert before anyone has to go looking.
