That's nothing - taken over 50 years the rate of increase is touching infinity.

We're already seeing better theft prevention built in to more expensive e-bikes. While it doesn't prevent selling parts of the stoles bikes, the resale value is much lower and the thief has to work more to earn something.

How much have sales of e-bikes gone up over the same period?  Are there more claims because more e-bikes, or are they being specifically targeted for theft?
