Property crime refers to criminal acts that involve the theft or destruction of someone else's property. This can include offenses such as burglary, theft, vandalism, and motor vehicle theft. Unlike violent crimes, property crimes do not involve direct harm to individuals but can lead to significant financial losses for victims. These crimes can occur in various settings, including homes, businesses, and public spaces. Law enforcement agencies often work to prevent property crime through community programs and increased patrols. Victims of property crime may seek restitution or insurance claims to recover their losses.
