About This Dataset

This dataset consists of approximately 883 reported vehicle thefts across Oakville, offering a targeted view of property crime affecting residents and businesses. Unlike broader crime summaries, this data concentrates solely on stolen vehicle incidents.

Geographically, thefts tend to cluster along industrial and mixed-use corridors such as WyeCroft Rd, Winston Park Dr, and Speers Rd. These areas often contain large parking lots, commercial fleets, or commuter parking, which may increase opportunity for theft.

From a time-based perspective, vehicle theft remains relatively steady throughout the year, averaging around 40–55 cases per month. Summer months—particularly July and August—stand out as the busiest period, while winter months are slightly lower but still consistent.

Time-of-day patterns show a strong early-morning concentration. Most thefts are reported between 5:00 AM and 8:00 AM, indicating vehicles are commonly taken overnight and discovered later in the morning rather than during active daytime hours.

Overall, this dataset highlights persistent vehicle theft risk across Oakville, with clear geographic and temporal patterns that can help inform prevention strategies and targeted patrol efforts.
