Here are the 10 most often stolen cars in Canada, according to the most recent reports. Theft of automobiles has been steadily increasing across the nation. Investigations have actually linked it to organised crime, where thousands of cars are stolen each year and shipped abroad. The lack of security equipment in these cars to deter theft and the high demand for certain models of cars in the international market are the two main causes. These stolen vehicles overwhelmingly consist of SUVs and pickup trucks.

To prevent these cars from being stolen, the authorities advise anyone who owns one of these vehicles to adopt extra security measures. This involves precautions like parking indoors, installing security cameras, and fitting the automobiles with GPS chips to alert the owner when something is stolen. It does not, however, ensure success. The anti-theft/security systems in automobiles need to be updated at the level of the automakers so that thieves cannot enter vehicles as readily.
Additionally, a recurrent theme in these thefts is that the burglars favour well-known SUVs and pickup vehicles. Each year, Canada sells tens of thousands of pickup trucks and SUVs. As a result, there is a significant market for SUVs both in Canada and worldwide. Therefore, these particular car kinds are the ones that the offenders target. What do you think about the situation?
