Most Stolen Cars 2015 - Russia

For any car owner, traffic fines or minor traffic accidents are not the worst nightmare. It is much worse to leave the house in the morning and not find your car in the parking lot. Insurance companies have long compiled ratings of car models that are stolen more often than others. The statistics of appeals to insurance companies and police departments testify to disappointing facts:

• in 2013, the number of hijackings in Russia as a whole and in Moscow in particular increased by about 15 percent.

What brands of cars are the most popular among intruders? For Moscow, the statistics look like this:

1. Honda - Accord and CR-V models;
2. Toyota - Camry and Land Cruiser;
3. Lexus LX;
4. Mazda 3;
5. Mitsubishi Outlander.

It is worth noting that this is an average rating based on data for 2013. Each insurance company annually compiles auto theft reports and these data can vary significantly, depending on the region of the country and the contingent of insurers. So, according to Rosgosstrakh, in Russia as a whole, the rating of the most stolen cars is as follows:

1. Toyota Land Cruiser;
2. Mitsubishi Lancer/Ford Focus;
3. Honda CR-V;
4. Mitsubishi Outlander;
5. Mazda 3.

If we take separately statistics by region, then the products of the domestic auto industry and budget cars of the Golf class are of constant interest to criminals. As a rule, cars no older than three years are at risk. Used budget cars are in great demand both among buyers and in the car dismantling market. By regions, according to the results of 2013, the ranking looks like this:

1. LADA - 3600 thefts;
2. Toyota - more than 200 thefts of which 33 - Land Cruiser;
3. Ford Focus;
4. Mazda 3;
5. Renault Logan.

Executive class cars are usually distilled to other regions and even countries. If earlier a jeep stolen somewhere in Moscow or St. Petersburg could surface in Yekaterinburg, Stavropol or even the Far East, now criminal gangs prefer to drive cars to Ukraine, Kazakhstan, the Baltic States and even the EU.

Criminals implement various schemes to track down victims - from the banal theft of keys from a driver who gapes in a supermarket, to playing fictitious accidents on the road.

However, despite such disappointing data, it is encouraging that car owners are beginning to insure their cars under “CASCO” against theft and receive full compensation in case of loss. Don't forget to protect your car. Japanese cars lead the rankings due to the fact that they are much easier to steal than the same "German" BMW or Audi.

Therefore, in order not to knock on the thresholds of insurance companies and police stations, take care of the proper protection of your “iron horse” in advance.
