The National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) is a U.S. insurance industry trade association focused on preventing, detecting and defeating insurance fraud and vehicle theft through information analysis, investigations, training, legislative advocacy and public awareness.[2]
NICB's headquarters are in Oak Brook, Illinois.
Much of NICB's focus is on motor vehicle theft. It has advocated for better insurance fraud statutes in the criminal codes drafted by state legislatures. Tools and reports the NICB provides to combat car theft include VINCheck, "a free lookup service provided to the public to assist in determining if a vehicle may have a record of an insurance theft claim",[3] a Report Fraud hotline,[4] and two reports: Hot Wheels, which lists the most commonly stolen vehicles;[5] and Hot Spots, the locations across the United States where auto thefts are most common.[6]
