The line graph shows thefts per thousand vehicles in four countries between 1990 and 1999. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.

The line graph illustrates the number of stolen cars in four countries between the years 1990 and 1999. Time on the horizontal axis is plotted against the number of the thefts per a thousand vehicles on the vertical axis. Overall, it is clearly noticed that Great Britain held the highest rates in the period.

To begin, car thefts in Sweden, France and Canada were in a similar proportion between the number of 5 and 10 per thousand; especially in the first 5 years. However, Sweden started to increase gradually and reached its peak point at approximately 15 per thousand in 1999 whereas France and Canada met the same rate (just over 5000) in the same year after following a stagnant way during the last 5 years.

Interestingly, the number of stolen cars in Great Britain, which was stacked between 15 and 20 per thousand, was far higher than that in other three countries with a fluctuating trend. It started from 18 per thousand and finished at 16 which was below the number of the beginning point.
