The super duty has been a favorite for a long time and Ford has done nothing to address the ease of entry for burglars. The door locks are notoriously easy to break through.

I'm much more interested in the stolen rates rather than the numbers stolen.

Given the staggering number of F150s sold it is unsurprising that it makes the list. The H2 on the contrary is much rarer and its making the list should then be a true warning.

A close friend of mine had his Dodge Charger stolen not so long ago. I wonder if this list is what the thieves themselves look for...or if its just a coincidence.

No escalade? Those are coming up missing all the time.

Ydooby's statement would make this much more interesting.

I'm surprised the H2 is on the list. After gas prices went up a few years ago most of the Hummers disappeared. It went from being super common to pretty rare.

Usually when these list pop up they have model years, otherwise this makes you think all newer cars are being stolen

Hummers (and other rugged off-road vehicles) are in great demand in Third-World countries with bad roads and primitive driving conditions. In fact, there are professional theft-rings that steal these vehicles and ship them off....for a profit.....to those countries.
