Vehicles Most Frequently Stolen
The makes and models of vehicles most frequently stolen vary by several factors, including region and ease of theft. In particular, the security systems in older vehicles may not be up to the same standard as current vehicles, and thieves also have longer to learn their weaknesses. Scrap metal prices may also influence thieves to prefer older vehicles.
In recent years in the United States, some models often on lists of most frequently stolen vehicles include Toyota Camry (best-selling car in USA), Honda Civic, Honda Accord, Acura Integra as they are easiest to resell at higher margins.
In Thailand, the most frequently stolen vehicles are Toyota and Nissan cars, Isuzu pickup trucks, Honda cars, and Honda motorcycles (2007 data).
In Malaysia, Selangor had the highest number of motor vehicle thefts, ahead of Kuala Lumpur and Johor. Since 2005, Proton models are the most frequently stolen vehicles in the country, with Proton Wira being the highest, followed by the Proton Waja and the Proton Perdana.
