Is Your Car A Likely Theft Target?





Of course, it goes without saying that the more likely your car will be stolen, the most insurance premium you will pay. The top 5 easy targets:

1. Cadillac Escalade
2. Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution
3. Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab pickup
4. Ford F-250 and F-350 SuperCrew four-wheel drive pickups (2005s only)
5. Chrysler Sebring (2004, 2005)

From :

According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the Cadillac Escalade, preferred ride of the fictional TV mob boss, is also the hottest ticket out there for car thieves.

"The Escalade may be targeted because of its pop-culture appeal," says Russ Rader, spokesman for the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety. In addition to the number of sports and music stars driving them, many "may also be equipped with add-ons that are attractive to thieves," he says.
