Conducted early this week, the survey of just over 1,000 adults across the country asked respondents to rate their confidence in law enforcement's response to car theft, a problem that has grown for years nationwide.
Among those surveyed, 38 per cent said they were not confident in police recovery efforts, with another 30 per cent indicating they were somewhat not confident. Only four per cent of the sample indicated more than somewhat confidence that police could find stolen vehicles.
Respondents were also asked about how those efforts have changed over time, particularly within the past decade.
The largest proportion of those surveyed felt negatively, with just over 40 per cent saying, either somewhat or strongly, that police were doing a worse job than 10 years prior. Another 26 per cent indicated they felt things were more or less the same, but only about 15 per cent said that efforts to recover lost vehicles had improved since 2014. Seventeen per cent said they were unsure.
