\"StateNashville, TN<\/strong> – State Farm says a vehicle is stolen about every 41 seconds in America. The months of July and August are the top two months for vehicle thefts.<\/p>\n

\"Dodge<\/a>

Dodge Charger HEMI is one of the most stolen vehicles according to Highway Loss Data Institute study.<\/p><\/div>\n


\nA new study from the Highway Loss Data Institute (HLDI)<\/a> being shared by State Farm shows the Dodge Charger HEMI and the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat as the vehicles most likely to be stolen.<\/p>\n

Both vehicles have claim rates are more than 5 times the average for 2016-18 models, as does the Infiniti Q50, a midsize luxury sedan.<\/p>\n

Nearly all 20 models with the highest theft rates are either vehicles with big engines, luxury vehicles or pickups.
\n 
\nTwo of the vehicles on the least-stolen list are the Tesla Model S and Model X. Their low theft rate may be related to the fact that, as electric vehicles, they are usually parked in garages or close to a house to be near a power supply. Absent from the most-stolen list is any version of the Cadillac Escalade, which previously dominated HLDI\u2019s rankings of vehicles popular with thieves.<\/p>\n

Part of the reason is that the large luxury SUV now has more competition in that category.

  3. Infiniti Q50 4-door <\/li>\n
  4. Infiniti QX80<\/li>\n
  5. GMC Sierra 1500 crew cab<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The study revealed that models most likely to be stolen tend to be powerful, pricey or pickups, but vehicle theft is also a crime of opportunity. Better security features on all vehicles would be the best way to address the problem.<\/p>\n
