Most Stollen Cars
Most of the vehicles on our list are SUVs and trucks--the Chevrolet Avalanche 1500 and GMC Yukon among them. But that doesn't mean cars are immune to thievery. The Infiniti G37 coupe, Chevrolet Corvette Z06 and the Dodge Charger with HEMI engine each posted big claim frequencies as well.
Other large vehicles also made this year's list of hot wheels, including the Ford F-250 crew cab pickup truck, the Nissan Pathfinder Armada and the Hummer H2 4WD. Luxury SUVs in general have the most theft in proportion to their worth--the value of their loss is more than six times as high as the average for all passenger vehicles. If you own a Cadillac Escalade, you may want to watch where you park it.
According to a report released today by the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety (IIHS), Escalades with model years 2007 through 2009 have the highest theft rate of any vehicle in the country. The average yearly monetary value losses for the Escalade alone are more than seven times the average; almost 25% of all Escalade theft claims are for $40,000 or more.
