you must live in odd country, here in Czechia is felony stealing of subject with "more than insignificant value" (read more than 200EUR although last year they wanted to raise it to 400EUR, not sure if they succeeded) regardless what is the subject, so while stealing old used car valued at 199EUR is misdemeanor (contravention), stealing bike worth 300EUR is crime I don't think they would really treat cars differently, if they are in same value as some bike worth 10000 EUR, the thing is car is much bigger so it's more difficult to hide it and easier to notice/discover than bike and statistically most of the used bikes are worth few euros, so it would be really waste of resources, of course it's different now with ebikes, but it is same as motorbikes, much easier to hide and difficult to discover

Can't comment on OP's country, but here in Germany while technically different, in practice it's the same Car gets stolen: often the case is solved, license plates help, etc.pp Bike gets stolen: Police take the report, often blame you it's your own fault that you didn't properly lock it (happened to me twice), usually doesn't get solved even if you have the number. It's worth the hassle to report it but the chnace of getting it back are close to zero.

  > Car gets stolen: often the case is solved, license plates help, etc.pp Are you sure stolen car is "often" found? Here in Czechia they find like 20% stolen cars, bikes will be worse but not that much worse since 20 is already quite close to 0 anyway.

    Often compared to bikes. Also I have heard of it, so non-zero. ;) No, I don't have numbers. My point was strictly that with a stolen bike you're out of luck. Also because insurance is mandatory for cars, people usually take this addon that will have them pay for your stolen car. For bikes again it's complicated...
