Off-Topic: Cadillac Escalade still tops among car thieves
Forgive us for being cynical, but have higher gas prices and interest rates on loan payments perhaps contributed to insurance fraud? Three of the top 4 stolen cars were big trucks last year.
GM, Chrysler and Ford want to make more cars that people are keen to buy but they already have a few models that people like to steal.
For the fourth straight year, GM’s luxury Cadillac Escalade topped the list of late-model vehicles most coveted by thieves, according to an analysis of theft claims in 2005 by the insurance industry.
Ford’s F-250/350 large pickup truck was in the top five most stolen models along with the Dodge Ram 1500 quad cab pickup and the Sebring four-door sedan, both made by Chrysler.
