According to new data from the Highway Loss Data Institute (HLDI), the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 has become the most stolen vehicle in America. This high-performance model, which retails for around $75,400, is being stolen at a rate 39 times above the average for 2022-2024 vehicles. The standard Camaro also sees thefts at 13 times the typical rate. HLDI’s Matt Moore explains the appeal of the Camaro to thieves – it is a powerful, expensive vehicle that is relatively easy to steal. Beyond the Camaro, the top 20 most stolen vehicles include other high-end models like the Acura TLX 4WD and several pickup trucks. Conversely, electric vehicles are far less likely to be targeted by thieves, with the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y topping the “least stolen” rankings. (Newser)
