The team at comparethemarket.au, a car insurance comparison website, did some digging into who steals cars in New York City. 23 percent of thieves might make you chuckle. They might be the kind of car burglary cases that end of on Judge Judy. The pettiest kind of all.
While data shows that the majority of car thefts in The Big Apple are committed by strangers, a portion of the victims actually know the robber. Even worse, nearly 25 percent know the thief intimately.
Ya see, Compare the Market found that reportedly 23 percent of vehicles lifted in New York City are stolen by the owner's ex!

Yeah, reportedly jilted lovers get so brokenhearted they make off with their ex's ride. Not cool.
