Re: Top 10 most and least stolen vehicles in 2008

Interesting to see the E-Class on the first place of the least stolen vehicles.

here in europe the X5 is often at place one of the most stolen cars.

Re: Top 10 most and least stolen vehicles in 2008

Why are gas-guzzlers dominating the first few positions on the most stolen list? Do these criminals even have enough money to fill them up at the pump?

Yeah, would be interesting if somebody listed the tank volume of each vehicle. Many of those on the most stolen list have gigantic tanks.

Re: Top 10 most and least stolen vehicles in 2008

My guess...

I just bought a $50,000 vehicle that gets 12MPG and gas costs $4+ a gallon, plus I am loosing my house. I need cash fast, hmmm what to do...
Oh take car to private area and torch it and then go home. Call police to say it is stolen.

Re: Top 10 most and least stolen vehicles in 2008

The person/s who stole the Terraza and it's Saturn clone must've been blind. I'd rather walk than be in that crap.

Re: Top 10 most and least stolen vehicles in 2008

Well, the Escalade is the ride of choice in the hip-hop world, where auto theft is a treasured past-time so I see no surprise in it topping the list, let alone the third spot as well.

I can't imagine anyone with more than two brain cells to rub together willing to steal those pathetically fugly Terrazas/Rainiers/Freestyles though. I find it hard to believe that the Rendezvous didn't make the list. I'm guessing no one bought one, so that'd explain there not being any to steal in the first place.

Re: Top 10 most and least stolen vehicles in 2008

Those ugly cars are stolen for parts, not for joy riding. GM car parts (along with Ford, Chrysler, Honda, Toyota etc.) are big business.

The Superduty trucks can probably be found on construction sites with their keys still in the ignition. Easy prey

Yeah, I understand the car parts reasoning, but who in the world bought the damn car in the first place. That's what my concern is. I'm glad where I'm at, there are none of those crappy ass cars running around. I don't want to get into a wreck because I didn't see the car in front of me because I was too busy throwing up from looking at one of those things.
