A cool guide to the top 10 most stolen vehicles in America

I think it'd be more interesting to adjust for the number of units sold.
Otherwise, a lot of that is just going to be due to correlation with the number of units sold.
- I don't know how reliable these numbers are, but Hyundai/Kia have a known weakness that makes them super easy to steal.

  Summary: On a number of their base models for some years, they didn't include an engine immobilizer. The result is that one can break a window, use a screwdriver to quickly break open the steering column, yank out the ignition column, stick a USB charger plug in, turn, and the vehicle starts. In the Columbus and Milwaukee area, the "Kia Boys", a group of kids and young teens -- male, black, 12-14 -- popularized stealing Kias on TikTok, with the "Kia Challenge", where one steals a Kia and posts it to TikTok. They steal tens of thousands. The young age means that penalties are light. The vehicles generally aren't stolen for parts or use, but to joyride in, often wind up wrecked. People in area generally buy steering wheel locks. Kia and Hyundai agree to start putting immobilizers in again.
  
  None of the affected models are Sonatas though, despite them being number 2 in this list of stolen cars.
- In 2022 more than 1% of CRVs were stolen in Canada! More than 1 in every 100 fucking CRVs!

  The CRV is reasonably secure, so this means the thieves are actually very organized and have technical know-how to steal the cars? Or do they simply load the car into a flatbed and drive away?

43k thousand for the top one? So 43 million?
- Every 5 seconds, everyone is stealing a Hyundai Elantra. You stole 2 while reading this comment.
- It's incredible, they're being stolen at a faster rate then they can build them!

Luckily Canadian Hyundai and Kia models are less vulnerable to this because Canada mandates engine immobilizers.
Doesn't mean car theft isn't a problem. The last statistics from Ontario I remember, Lexus vehicles are the most commonly stolen because they fetch high prices on the illegal resale market.

I remain smug in my purchase decision of a 2009 Town and Country.
(ain't no one stealing that pos)
- Oh yeah, I'm rolling around in a manual 2010 Mazda B2300, complete with claymore airbag. Steal it if you dare.

Worth noting that those Hyundai and Kia are just certain years.
