The top 5 vehicles typically stolen are: Toyota Venza, Honda Civic, Ford F350, Cadillac Escalade and Chevrolet Trailblazer. The best ways to protect yourself from having your vehicle stolen are to never leave your car unlocked. It doesn't matter if you are leaving it for only even a few minutes, always keep your doors locked. Also never leave your keys unattended in the ignition. If you leave your keys in the ignition you are basically giving your vehicle away. Never leave valuables in visible sight in your car. If you have a laptop,cell phone, new electronics or anything expensive and worth stealing, put it away in your truck, or smaller things in glove box, somewhere hidden. It is best to not leave valuables in your car at all. It is best to keep your insurance and personal information on you rather than in your glove box or anywhere in your vehicle because these documents make it much harder to track. Lastly, it is a very good idea to get a electronic immobilizer installed in your car. All cars made after 2007 legally have them in them, but it is very safe to get one installed if your car does not.
