Police statistics have shown that automobile antitheft devices reduce the risk of car theft, but a statistical study of automobile theft by the automobile insurance industry claims that cars equipped with antitheft devices are, paradoxically, more likely to be stolen than cars that are not so equipped.
The statement 'The most common automobile antitheft devices are audible alarms, which typically produce ten false alarms for every actual attempted theft' does the most to resolve the apparent paradox.
