The number one stolen car in America varies by year according to data from the National Insurance Crime Bureau, but in recent years the most stolen vehicles have been full-size pickup trucks and popular sedans due to their high numbers on the road and demand for parts. For 2023 and 2024 data, the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and Ford F-150 full-size pickups have topped the list as the most stolen vehicles in America, followed by the Honda Accord, Honda Civic, and Toyota Camry. Pickup trucks are popular targets because they are widely owned, have valuable parts, and are often used in construction and can be resold. In previous years, the Honda Accord and Honda Civic were the most stolen due to their popularity and older models lacking modern anti-theft technology. The Dodge Challenger, particularly Hellcat models, has also seen high theft rates recently due to its high performance and value, but in absolute numbers, pickups and Accords are stolen more often. Modern cars with keyless entry have also become targets for relay theft. To protect your vehicle, use steering wheel locks, park in well-lit areas, and use GPS tracking. The NICB annual Hot Wheels report provides the latest data, and the top stolen car can change yearly based on trends and regional demand.
