VT is most stolen car of the year

[Taranaki]

I presume that is because there are lots of them around, and the usual method of stealing cars nowadays is to break into house and find car keys near front door.

found this on google
The VT Commodore was the hottest property among thieves with 966 recorded stolen. The VE Commodore was a close second at 830 thefts, while the Hyundai Excel X3 (758) cracked the podium ahead of the VX Commodore (600).

The VT commodore has been one of the most stolen cars in Australia for a good few years now. For the past few years it's been on the top of the list.

I think the lesson is, if you own one, keep the keys safe. Never leave them unattended in the house, etc.

A lot of the thefts we've had where I live, were people breaking into houses, grabbing items of value, and finding the keys to the car just sitting there. They then pile your car up with your valuables, and drive away with the lot! Don't make it easy for them.

I would have to say, if you own one, look at removing a fuse or two or installing a hidden kill switch.
They are the most stolen car due to being old technology.

also the perfect mang mobile , in New Zealand the most stolen is the Honda Tornio followed by Subaru Legacy , much for the mang and fang factor often stripped out for parts or just caned until dead , joy riders really piss me off .
