To deter thieves is challenging, even if you own one of the cars on the list below. Even the most complex cars to break into can be loaded on the back of a flatbed and driven away. If thieves can’t take the car, they’ll poach whatever they can from it, including headlights, the spare tire, and the catalytic converter. The latter is obviously not applicable if you own an EV.
Just follow the basic rules, like parking in well-lit areas and watching for suspicious activity. Steering wheel locks also tend to help, if only to dissuade a thief that it’s not worth the trouble.
With the above in mind, let’s move on to the cars least likely to be stolen based on relative claim frequency. We can also see how many were stolen by looking at the relative overall losses, which is even more interesting if you add the number of said models insured.
If you look at the study, you’ll see we skipped over some models. Otherwise, this list would consist only of Teslas and Volvos. Generally speaking, these two brands’ models do exceptionally well because they’re equipped with the same anti-theft systems. GM brands like Chevrolet, GMC, Buick, and Cadillac also appear on the list more than once.
