The Cadillac Escalade, Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution and Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab pickup top the list of car thieves' favorite targets, according to a new study by the insurance industry. Based on an analysis of theft insurance claims for vehicles sold between 2003 and 2005, the Highway Loss Data Institute, an affiliate of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, says those three models have a theft rate four to five times the average for all vehicles. While the number of claims of car thefts across all models has fallen, the average loss paid by an insurer on each claim has risen, especially for pickups.

What do you think of the choices? Any more you'd add? Any you can't believe made the list? I found the vehicles least likely to get stolen (Ford Taurus station wagon, followed closely by the Pontiac Vibe AWD, the Buick LeSabre and the Buick Park Avenue) interesting as well, especially the Vibe since it's a kewl car.  

I remember two years ago, Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, and Honda Civic were the top 3 on the most stolen vehicle list. I guess either the security system of those cars have improved or just that the thieves have better taste in cars now, haha.  

I actually heard the same thing and never understood it. Accords and Camrys, especially, were not lookers.  

the camry, accord, and civic were the most stolen car because it was like everybody owned one...so if there are abunch of those cars around guess what car is gonna get stolen the most.
