I awoke this morning to hear on the news that my G37 Coupe is third on a new list of cars most likely to be stolen. I guess we all must continue to be careful where we park:

Cars Most Likely to be Stolen

 

Thats it.

I'm buying a Volvo.

 

Yep. And the OEM wheels are #1 or #2 of stolen wheels

 

If that's true, I'll expect insurance rates to rise.

 

Mine already increased and it wasn't from me :/

No $hit! DAMN! Another hassle to worry about!

 

it depends on what state you are registered in. it won't cause a rise nationally.

 

What the? They're crazy! Guess what, Honda isn't even on the list anymore

 

Geico in NYC, raised my rates about 200 bucks for the year just because of that stupid study they did. i had no accidents or points or anything.. i was paying about 875 per 6 months full coverage 100/300k and all that good stuff now im paying 975 per 6 months.. they said my our is just that popular among thieves erghhhhhhhhhhh

 

i don't know about you guys but isn't that why we have such a sensitive alarm system in our 40K cars!!!!!!! i mean come on i think mine went up a little too but i'm not positive

 

not where i live.. hopefully insurance companies take location into account so i dont get raped with insurance

 

if someone copies your FOB signal the alarm won't go off...because it will be a recognized signal

they do take location into account but in VA I would think yours would go up

 

Rolling codes...capturing and copying them doesn't work because once you have the most recent code used, it is rendered useless.

 

read my post in the other thread, it is possible, just not prevalent

 

If the G37 makes a national list of the top stolen cars, then I think it is safe to say that it's not just a local issue. Certain cars may be more popular targets of thieves in some areas, but for the most part a popular car to steal is popular everywhere. And any time a car is a popular car to be stolen or a popular car for kids who like to street race (and get involved in the inevitable crashes), then it's a safe bet that the car will go into a higher risk category, which means higher insurance rates for most owners in most locations.
