Alas, the car stole, steal and will steal. Criminals are doing it for different reasons and in different ways, but one thing remains unchanged – greed, easy money.

Insurers and law-enforcement agencies closely track changes in the black market of vehicles. How many stolen, what were the makes, models, public bodies, periodicity and so on and so forth. In General, constantly gathering information and from time to time it is useful to review. You can, for example, to interrogate the insurers and know which brands and models were stolen most often, with the beginning of the year.

If you take automakers in General, it turns out, the most risky brands according to the insurance companies are: Hyundai, Kia, Toyota, Nissan and Ford. As can be seen in the Top-5 list includes only cars. Ten closed car Renault, Lexus, Mazda and Audi with Mitsubishi. As follows from the list of domestic cars it is not observed. However, it is not surprising, since CASCO theft on domestic cars are becoming extremely rare, so the statistics can be somewhat distorted.

Also insurers have called less popular, but still stolen brand cars: BMW, Peugeot, Volkswagen, Land Rover, Infiniti, Jaguar. VAZ, UAZ and GAS are also included in the list, but on the other end. They are almost not awarded illegally. Congratulations to the owners with this good news.
