again, according to the second list about newer cars, the accord's not even on it, so it seems like they did get a lot better?

not that i could care less either way.

The most stolen cars in Europe are BMW X5/X6, Range Rover, Audi Q7, Audi RS4/RS6, Lexus RX450h. They go straight to eastern European contries.

Worth to mention that Audi RS6 is the most popular bank robbery getaway car.

I'm surprised the Ford Super Duty is not on that list. There's a real problem with those trucks being stolen in the Southwest and taken across the border into Mexico. The problem is compounded by the door handle design, which is incredibly easy to pop with a screw driver, something Ford has not fixed since they started producing the Super Duty in 1998.
