He also observed that there are city-by-city differences in consumer vehicle preference that affect which vehicles are targeted by thieves in an individual metropolitan area.

Hazelbaker said about onefourth of the claims for the Escalades were for $40,000 or more, providing evidence that thieves were stealing the entire vehicle instead of seeking its parts.
Cadillac spokesman David Caldwell said the theft rate was "an unfortunate byproduct of the desirability of the vehicle." The 2007 model comes equipped an improved anti-theft ignition immobilizer, which prevents the vehicle from being started without the proper key.

 Good Thieves, Bad Thieves
In April this year, a list of 266 "thieves-in-law" -- the godfathers of the Russian yakuza, or Japanese mafia -- was published in a newspaper called Who's Who.
Shortly afterwards, the owner of Who's Who, the parliamentary deputy Andrei Azderdzis, was found shot dead, apparently by contract killers. The Russian "thieves-in-law," as I wrote last week, are the bosses of a criminal system that seems to have originated in Stalin's prisons, but which may date back to pre-revolutionary times.
The "thief-in-law," who had to be nominated and crowned by at least two other "thieves," traditionally started out as a prison or camp "baron," a man who dispensed justice, organized prison labor and sentenced informers to death.

And those made between 1998 and 2002 are the hottest items stolen by professional car thieves nationwide in the past year.

Several models of the car dominate a list of the most-stolen vehicles in the country, Canada's insurers said this week.
The Honda Civic 1994, 1995 and 1993 models are also found in the fourth, sixth and 10th spots respectively, said the bureau, which represents more than 90 per cent of non-government car, home and business insurance in Canada.
Rick Dubin, the bureau's vice-president of investigations, says thieves have been turning to older vehicles now that deterrent systems or immobilizers -- which prevent a car from starting unless a specific code is used -- are more common in newer vehicles.

 Toyota, Honda again top list of thieves' choices - The Honolulu Advertiser - Hawaii's Newspaper
For the sixth straight year, the Camry was the vehicle auto thieves targeted most in 2002, while the '89 model in particular topped the list for the fourth time in five years, according to Chicago-based CCC Information Services Inc., an insurance industry tracker of trends in theft and vehicle damage.
Toyota spokesman John McCandless said the company takes no pride in topping the list, but the Japanese automaker has issues with the way CCC measures car theft — based only on stolen vehicles never recovered, or stripped to the point of being a total loss.
CCC determines its list of most stolen vehicles by analyzing total losses submitted to it by more than 350 property and casualty insurers in North America.

 Saturn SL Tops Thieves Hit List - Daily Auto Insider - Car and Driver - May 2004
CCC changed the way it calculated its list for 2003, combining stolen-vehicle data with vehicle registrations from R.L. Polk and Co. to determine the rate of theft as a percentage of registered models.
As such, the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord, two of the best-selling vehicles in North America, fell from the top of the list to the middle of the top 25.
"We can't determine the exact reason thieves prefer some vehicles, but our data suggests some cars are stolen for the value of their parts, which may explain why we often see a 'clustering' effect with (specific) models from sequential model years," said Mary Jo Prigge, CCC's president of sales and service.
