Most stolen cars in Australia!

[pjdm1980]

Turns out that 17 out of 20 of the most stolen cars in Australia are Commodores-

[pjdm1980]

I should ad that I got this out of the Herald Sun.

[scouser king]

Poor old VP the most stolen car in Australia lol

[magnetvh]

I just put a full set of anti theft guide rails in all 4 doors and anti theft plates in front doors, also a anti theft plate on the ignition of my VH. But it ain't gona stop a brick now is it. But at least they will have a heck of trouble on the ignition side. TOUCH WOOD

Not surprising in the least. Commodores are common and usually the thieves are stuck driving falcons.

[vkberlina]

The only reason older commodores dont make the list anymore is they stole them all :P

hyundai excel is 8TH only because they are so crap the owners are doing insurance jobs on them. lol.

i was wondering who the hell would want to steal a hyundai excel, or a camry.

really, i can understand the commodore, a night of skids then set it on fire on the side of the road/chop it up,
but WHY THE #### WOULD YOU WANT TO STEAL AN EXCEL!?

[discomat]

that's why I drive a Calais.... Insurance has always been so much cheaper!

Because they are EXCELlent. LOL prob coz they are easy to brake into or something.

Good to see the Holden immobilser is doing it's job :P

[Dr HaxZaw]

well mines a 2004 vy so im obviously safe... should show this to the insurance company when i got to renew it and tell them i want cheaper insurance cause my car isnt in the top ten

[luke23]

pretty surprised no falcons are on that list, there almost as common as commodores and they would be better for thrashing then an excel, what the hell would you even do with a stolen excel, drive up and down the main street pumping the six by nines? makes no sense

is obviously stolen, they get in and realise hey... why bother (also probably cannot fit into the thing)... and it hasnt left where it was

maybe someonw should show it to holden and show that people really do love the RWD commodore afterall.

....................really?

that was a dad pun. lol

[Davidcoolaye]

Excels are in the list because apparently they only made a few different sets of keys for the old bubble style ones, back in the days of production that is. So basically if you had a key for one you had a 1 in 50odd chance of being able to unlock another one no troubles. Also... its a hyundai what more do you expect :P
Mechanic rumours ftw

really ? i thought it was EXCELlent.

its because most theives go for holden and theres always one around, 80%holden drivers are hoons where maybe 70 or 80%falcon drivers have respect for other drivers on the road. they should steal more excels and set fire to them, god i hate those things.

since when do VN's and VL's make up 80% of all holden cars? =P


*its a joke btw*

Way different to nz list.

Top 10 Stolen Cars (Source: AA Insurance claims data 2007-2011)

1. Honda Torneo (accord)

2. Nissan Elgrand (mpv people mover)

3. Subaru Impreza

4. Subaru Forester

5. Subaru Legacy

6. Nissan Skyline

7. Nissan Presea (like a bluebird, not 100% sure they're the same)

8. Mitsubishi Libero (lancer wagon I think)

9. Nissan Cefiro (maxima)

10. Nissan Sunny

[DAKSTER]

Gotta love rebranding, mostly all the same cars we have I assume, but with different names?

Never heard of Nissan Cefiro, Presea or Elgrand never heard of Mitsubishi Libero or Honda Torneo. Good (??) to see the good old Datsun Sunny still exists lol.. I doubt it looks like the old version from the 70s though

Interesting no-one thinks Fords are worth stealing in either country...

Interesting statistics, I'd love to see the report Never really considered myself a hoon.. I prefer 'enthusiast'.

Also interested in the connection between theft and hoons cars.. you think people who steal cars are all hoons? Its a big business, not confined to joyriders.

What are theives?

[m1lky]

Most of them are jap imports. Nz new are branded the same. Post updated to reflect what you know.

Up until late 90s commodores were high on nz list. Don't see many old commodores here now. Even vs's aren't that common.

Stolen for parts is big business but a large amount are for joy riding. ESP turbo rwds

80% of holden drivers are hoons? With that retarded logic Im guessing youre one of the morons I get stuck behind in the far right lane of the freeway doing 80kph.
