Sip Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 I think these lists are somewhat misleading ... they are based on total numbers and not ratios versus the total number sold. There are a heck of a lot more camerys on the roads than Porsche 911s ... but that doesn't mean the porsche is less likely to be stolen than the camery ... actually, I'd say it's the opposite.

Accelerated Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 indeed Sip, btw I read a really funny statistic in a local car mag: on average all Mitsubishi Evos in Russia had been stolen twice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most cars around, higher percentage that that car will be stolen. Just the mathematics of the situation. Plus if you steal a more "popular" car, it's easier to match the parts and accessories you'll strip from it, if you don't plan to joyride in it.
