Locksmiths in Washington DC are charged with the responsibility of keeping people’s property safe from thieves, so we like to keep abreast of crime trends. I was recently looking at a press release that was issued by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. They released statistics on the passenger vehicles that are stolen the most frequently and how great the losses are from these thefts.

A lot of people want to buy the sharpest car that they can afford, and I guess that makes sense. It is kind of sad to say so, but the truth is that when you buy a car that is really nice and eye catching, it is going to attract the eye of thieves as well. However, statistics show that car thieves seem to think that “bigger is better.” With this in mind, it comes as no surprise the Cadillac Escalade ESV is the the most frequently stolen car in the United States.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety generates these statistics by measuring how many vehicle thefts occur for each model of car or truck per 1,000 policies issued. Other organizations offer statistics that use different methods, which is why you may have seen lists that differ somewhat from this one. Washington DC locksmiths can help you to ward off thieves by installing a number of different security solutions, and we encourage all drivers in DC to take extra precautions to prevent car theft. Here is the complete list of the ten most stolen cars:

1.) 2007 Cadillac Escalade ESV
2.) 2005-2007 Ford F-250 SuperCrew
3.) 2007 Cadillac Escalade
4.) 2006-2007 Dodge Charger
5.) 2005-2007 Ford F-350 SuperCrew
