Car thieves favor large, bold vehicles, according to an annual report by the Insurance Institute for highway safety (IIHS). Cadillac again is the most objective of Grand Theft Auto, stolen six times more frequently than the average car, leading to losses, which are 10 times greater.
IIHS releases theft claim report for each year, and Escalade remains the perennial favorite despite the blocking of engine is standard equipment. The figures look at theft, on the basis of the vehicle, years, thus correcting for sales. Special EXT version is ranked as the most popular with more than 14 claims for 1000 years of the insured vehicle.
Pickup trucks rank among those vehicles with the most theft insurance claims, both in frequency and average loss payments. It seems that thieves have much work to do, ekstravagantni for gas-guzzlers, or perhaps more opportunities to sell and part of the full, crewcab, American branded trucks. IIHS notes that theft losses for adapters is twice for cars and pikapi, although losses were reduced for trucks in recent years.
Despite the spread of engine blocking professional thieves may tow a vehicle. Pickup trucks carrying the added risk that the block can be stolen from an open bed.
General Motors has responded to this news by noting that 2012 Escalade has a "more robust" system for locking of the steering column and will be available with the shock sensor and inclination sensor, which will be activated by drawing or even jacking of the vehicle. We'll see in a few years, if these measures can pass Escalade from this list, as requested.
A key takeaway from the IIHS report is that some vehicles bear more insurance premiums for the real reason, and that care should be taken to locking the vehicle when left unattended and Park in a safe, well-lit place.
