Wisconsin, Hyundai Elantra, 515 stolen. Wyoming, the Ford F-150 Series, 19 vehicles stolen. Hyundai's and Kia's missing security features make stealing the vehicles much easier. The most common model in the data set, of course, is the Hyundai Elantra, which was the most stolen car in 20 different states. The Hyundai Sonata and Kia Soul also made an appearance. A major reason for this trend is that many Hyundais and Kia models produced between 2011 and 2021 lack electronic engine immobilizers, basic anti-theft tech now standard in most vehicles. This omission made it easier for thieves to exploit vulnerabilities Especially after viral social media videos demonstrated how easy it is to steal these cars using simple tools. Full-size pickups remain prime targets in rural and, of course, border states because they're taking them to Mexico. The Chevrolet Silverado 1500 leads Theft tallies in Texas, California, and seven additional states that abut Mexico, while Ford F-150s head up the list and six others. Both models are some of the most popular vehicles sold in the country, so it also makes sense that they're also frequently stolen. Looking at the most stolen cars, of course, the Hyundai Elantra, Oh, buddy. Chevrolet Silverado, the Ford F-150, Honda Accord, and Jeep Grand Cherokee, along with the Honda Civic. God bless, guys.
