Abstract
The Illinois Motor Vehicle Theft Prevention Council was established in 1991 with the goal of reducing vehicle theft, insurance fraud, and motor vehicle theft-related crimes throughout Illinois. The 2004 Council members are named and described and overviews are provided of motor vehicle theft trends in Illinois and of the Council programs from 1992 through 2004.

Additionally, 12 programs were funded, including 7 task forces, 1 specialized prosecution program, 1 specialized investigations program, 1 vehicle theft training program, 1 vehicle maintenance program, and 1 data intelligence program; these are each briefly described in turn.
