They’ll Never Steal a Chevy Volt

Car thieves aren’t doing their share to save the planet:

The Cadillac Escalade, a big luxury sport-utility vehicle, once the favorite of rappers and moguls alike, remains tops for average insurance theft losses, according to the insurance industry’s Highway Loss Data Institute report out today.
Other automotive eye candy, such as the Chevrolet Corvette Z06, also placed high on the theft-loss list — but so did the workhorse Ford F-250 crew cab pickup with four-wheel drive.

Frequency of reported theft of a Dodge Charger Hemi? 7.1 per thousand. Theft rate for Toyota Prius? 0.8 per thousand.

No self-respecting car thief would want to be seen driving a hybrid.
