Default Stolen

Read that the Dodge Charger was the most popular stolen car, the Model A Ford PicUp is the least stolen. Any truth there ??

The majority of people today don't have any clue how to drive an A. Std shift, fuel shut off, spark lever, starter switch, and once they get wedged into it they are trapped.

Don't know about the Model A, but for years the Honda Civic and Accord were the most commonly stolen. I did some noodling around on the web and it looks like Hyundai is now in the lead. Ford F-150 shows up on a lot of lists, too.

For more than 25 years many SUVs and PU trucks end up in Belize:
