The types of cars most targeted by thieves in our country have been revealed. If you own one of the models indicated, you should pay attention and protect your car as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, criminals are everywhere, and as far as thieves are concerned, they operate in any sector. Among these the automotive sector is not excluded.
There are many cars that are stolen in Italy every year by scoundrels who then try to get rich by reselling them or even by reselling their components.
To avoid falling victim to this you can take precautionary measures, which however they will have to be significantly increased if you own one of the models we will list below.
Here are the most stolen cars
The most robbed car of all in our country is the most classic of the Fiat Panda. After this we find in order the Fiat 500, the Citroen C3, the Lancia Ypsilon and the Smart Fortwo. Very simple and widespread cars therefore, and this is perhaps precisely the motivation that pushes criminals to operate on them, given that for example in the used parts market they would be able to make an excellent profit.
The theft of SUVs is also on the rise, who in the last year managed to exceed half of the total thefts, with precision 53%. Among the most stolen models of this type we find the Toyota RaRAV4 in first place, followed by the Toyota C-HR, the Fiat 500X, the Jeep Renegade and the Peugeot 3008.
The ranking of the most affected cities and regions has also been drawn up
We also have very precise data regarding the areas in which these car thefts occur. First of all, central and southern Italy are the most affected, while among the regions where this practice occurs most we find Campania, Lazio, Puglia and Lombardywhere in total more than 90% of total thefts are estimated.
Obviously at the city level at the top of the car theft rankings there are precisely the largest ones in these regions, such as Milan, Naples, Bari, Rome, but also Barletta, Foggia and many others. Also curious is the data on the resales of stolen machines or their parts, which arrive mainly in our country and Eastern Europe.
