New Report Shows Which Cars are Most and Least Likely to be Stolen
Based on Insurance Claims

The Highway Loss Data Institute (HLDI) has issued a report on the highest insurance claims for automobile theft for 2007-09 passenger vehicles. While you might not want to know whether your car is likely to be stolen, this information may be useful for some of you!

It makes sense that the most popular vehicles on the road also top the list of the most popular vehicles stolen. So, the HLDI has identified the vehicles with the worst theft losses by counting the number of insurance claims by make and model and comparing it to the number of each make and model insured. This gives an individual a good indication of how likely their car is to become a victim of theft.

"Sedate family cars and fuel sippers aren't on the hot list," says Kim Hazelbaker, HLDI senior vice president. "Thieves are after chrome, horsepower, and HEMIs."
