The number one stolen car in Canada as determined by the Insurance Bureau of Canada was the Toyota Venza, number two was the Honda Civic, and three was the Ford F350. When you first take a look at this list it doesn't look very impressive. I mean there are some nice Fords, but Chevy is the way to go, and a Toyota Venza isn't necessarily a "ballin ass ride." But all three of these vehicles are produced in large quantities, and many generic colors. If you look at a Honda Civic I'm pretty sure you have seen one driving around your town or city. They are a common car that are produced in large numbers, and this makes it easier for someone to steal and use or resell these types of cars. Even just changing the plates could alter the care enough to not be found by police or previous owners. If you live in a highly populated city, where there are bound to be bad neighbor hoods in, your car might be at risk of being stolen. If you are a thief in a large city there is also a better chance of you not being caught because of the number of other vehicles and the less chance you have of running into the person who;s car you stole. Cities like Regina, Vancouver, Montreal, and Kelowna, have large numbers of people and vehicles which can lead to higher rates of theft. Also places like Winnipeg, and Kelowna have spread out populations which indicate more cars because you need to drive 5 kilometers to get to the nearest gas station.
There are many ways for people to help avoid getting their car stolen. First off lock your doors! I know its a simple thing that people do all the time, but the truth is large numbers of cars stolen are cars that were not locked. Another thing is to not leave expensive items in plain sight because someone will smash your window and just take that $&*#@. You should leave your car parked in a well lit area where lots of people can see it, this may deter a thief from stealing your car. Car theft is becoming more of an issue in Canada and with more people purchasing cars, more thieves will be out looking to get your stuff , so hopefully you protect it properly.
