Since the source seems to be social media posts, there's a small possibility that theft may be some kind of portion of the number, but I'm not sure due to the questionable accuracy of source data.
Semi-related: I work for a homeless service agency and a few of our clients were arrested for a tiny luggage theft ring at LAX a couple of months ago. One of the detectives said that some of the luggage they found was reported missing and it was luck that someone else had airtags hidden in their luggage to be able to track the item which allowed them to discover more items from others.

When I looked a couple of months ago, the Katana from Titan and Osaka might be comparable, but it's only $100 cheaper. The others I looked at were over $1000 (Thermaltake, Sidiz, and Xchair).

It has been a while since I've used it, but IIRC, Matplotlib was made for print media, which generally doesn't use pixels, hence no pixel support. As you found, there are better programs to use with pixels.
Not only this, but they are owned by nonprofits (The Patagonia Purpose Trust and Holdfast Collective organization) which uses income they get from the company for environmental causes.
I don't know if that's a typo of 'sourcing', 'scouring' or you meant souring, but all work in this case.
