A certified metropolitan hub, New Jersey has the highest population density in the United States with an average of 1,030 people per square mile. Apart from being known as the diner capital of the world with its countless arrays of superb bistros and delicatessens, it is also considered as the country's top hot spot for a rather select group of automobile enthusiasts: car thieves.

Law enforcement agencies report that there are more vehicles stolen in Newark than any other city in the US. The frequency of theft incidents are so severe that the number of automobiles looted in the Garden State is still 11% higher than that of the cases reported in New York and Los Angeles combined.

Auto theft is an estimated $7.5 billion business and continues to grow despite the efforts by the authorities to curb this illegal trade. According to the FBI Uniform Crime Reports, a single incident of auto theft occurs every 23 seconds in and around the country, with nearly 1.4 million vehicles stolen each year. And the sad thing is your car might be next.

No need to worry just yet though. If you're living in the Garden State and still looking to up the ante on the safety and protection you and your car need each time you take to the road, nothing beats getting access to New Jersey auto insurance to get the job done in no time at all.

At its simplest, auto insurance is smart financial planning in action that can help protect you from expensive, sometimes devastating surprises. It is basically a legal agreement between you and an insurance company that acts as a convenient buffer from losses in the event of an accident, damage to or even theft of your vehicle.
