That is why on the 05 MY they added an immobilizer...

[nj2Type-S]

that list doesn't look that accurate to me for some reason.. :dunno:

[rc2002]

^ Some of the list seems pretty accurate to me. I personally know people who have actually gotten their Caravans and Civics and Integras stolen.

List is based on actual insurance claims across Canada. You'll see a different list released by local police departments like the one the Calgary Police issued when they talked about their Bait Car Program which is based on Police reports.

Yea, two cars that stand out is

2001 Audi TT Quattro Roadster and
2004 Subaru Impreza WRX/WRX STi 4-door AWD


How's the bait car program coming along? or have they not started it yet.

I just helped my neighboor fix her ignition this morning after someone tried to steal her 2000 civic SIR.

Do you think this list better represents the desirability of these vehicles amongst thieves or the lack of vehicle security? I assume the most desirable vehicle for a crackhead is the one he can break into the fastest. :dunno:

easiest to break into and easiest to part out and make money off of is my guess.

Who wants to buy Buick parts to mod theirs? :P

best vehicle to conduct scandalous capers in, they are inconspicious and not only can you do shady shit in it, you can pack all sorts of stolen shit in it!

1. Value - part out or for crime

2. Security

I know for some cars you can buy a standalone ECU that will have an option to disable the immobilizer so basically all you would do is break into the car, swap the ecu for the one that has the disabled immobilizer and drive away.
