Sports cars and SUVs made by Chevrolet, Acura, and GMC are among the most-stolen vehicles in America, according to a new report by the Highway Loss Data Institute (HLDI). The study revealed that the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 was the most frequently stolen car, with a theft rate 39 times higher than the average car. The report also revealed that certain vehicles, such as the Camaro ZL1, can be cloned by thieves by accessing one of the car’s ports. The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) advised Camaro owners to keep key fobs in protected cases or wrap them in foil. Some Camaro owners are also eligible for a software upgrade to fix the issue. Other cars from newer model years identified as the most-stolen in America include the Acura TLX 4WD, which is 21 times more likely to be reported as a whole-vehicle theft than the average car, and the regular Chevrolet Camaro model, which is 12 times more likely. The National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) also identified its own list of the most-stolen vehicles in 2024, identifying the top five as the Hyundai Elantra, Hyundai Sonata, Chevrolet Silverado 1500, Honda Accord, and Kia Optima. Both organizations have historically used information submitted by law enforcement agencies to determine their lists.
