Although it’s expected that owners and drivers of flashy and ultra-luxurious cars will protect and vigilantly guard their vehicles after parking, it is actually the ‘more common’ makes and models that attracts attention of car thieves on the streets. Popular (and highly dependable) makes and models like Honda Civic and Accord are the common targets by criminals who want to earn quick bucks. These are known for their quality, reliability and high-resale value, thus these makes and models are often on the hot list of criminals, and have been reported by many agencies that track vehicle thefts through the years. But the Civics and the Accords aren’t the only ones targeted by thieves and those who want to earn illegally- here are the other most likely cars that get stolen in United States.
1. Cadillac Escalade
High-luxury SUVs and other models will always get the attention of car thieves. And who wouldn’t want to target extreme luxury seen in top sedans and SUVs like the Cadillac Escalade? With a base price of more than $60,000, the latest version of the Escalade showcases tasteful excess in its amenities and design for both the exterior and interior. The drama on the SUV’s exterior is made thanks to the addition of full LED lighting that illuminates the front and rear end including the iconic Cadillac logo. The interior showcases only the best and premium materials, making this a luxury investment that thieves would want to check out. So how attractive is this SUV in the eyes of thieves? According to one recent statistic, the theft odds are pegged at 1 in every 93 units of Cadillac Escalade.
