The only car on that list I’d actually want to steal would be the S2K. I drove one that belonged to a friend of mine; that thing was a BLAST!!!

Who said General Motors vehicles weren’t popular?

[SweetCaroline]

Whew!

Glad my Ford 150 Lighting is safe!

Could one surmise, since they’re almost all American models, that their entry and security systems are substandard in some way to the foreign cars, and therefore make them easier to steal?

[Travis T. OJustice]

The work trucks on the list surprise me.

[wolfcreek]

Anyone notice all of these vehicles would hold a lot of illegals....I mean people.

Car thieves don’t usually steal cars for resale or to drive. Cars are stolen so that they can be sent to chop shops and cut up for parts and scrap.

I wonder if the Escalade's numbers include the ones "commandeered" by New Orleans PD during Katrina, LOL!

I love it when they catch these guys. Had a 1978 Ford Bronco stolen from my driveway in the middle of the day - never found.

[mollynme]

Why would anyone steal a Dodge Magnum? That turkey looks like a hearse!!!

[Badeye]

‘#8 2005-2007 Hummer H2. 8.7 stolen per 1,000. Average claim: $18,791. ‘

I’ve got one. Don’t understand how the ‘average claim’ is 18,791, given the cost ‘off the lot’ is close to 70K.

[Enchante]

Hey, at least the car thieves appreciate US auto companies!!

[Doctor Raoul]

Wonder if Terry McAuliffe still drives that big ass Escalade?

Had Vanity Plates that read “DNC”. We ragged on him that it was for “Does Not Conserve” and “Does Not Care”.

[flowerplough]

Subaru Forester is on the least-stolen list for a reason. Monkey with one o’ them and a coupla burly dykes come barreling down the driveway screaming and waving their favorite baseball bats.
