10. Dodge Charger – 11,452 Stolen

The Dodge Charger saw 11,452 thefts in 2024. Its powerful engines and desirability in the used market made it a hot commodity for car thieves.


This isn't the all-new electric-powered Dodge Charger.

8. Ford F-150 – 12,952 Stolen

The Ford F-150 is the best-selling vehicle in America—and 12,952 thefts in 2024 prove that criminals also love the full-size truck for its parts and resale value.

7. Kia Soul – 13,562 Stolen

The quirky Kia Soul’s missing security features led to 13,562 thefts. Like the Optima, many Souls from the 2011-2021 model years lacked the electronic immobilizers needed to deter thieves.

6. Honda Civic – 15,727 Stolen

With 15,727 Civics stolen, this popular sedan continues its unfortunate tradition of landing in the top 10 year after year. Its widespread availability makes it easy prey for thieves.

5. Kia Optima – 17,493 Stolen

Another Hyundai-Kia group vehicle affected by the missing immobilizer issue, the Kia Optima suffered 17,493 thefts last year. Older models were particularly at risk.

3. Chevrolet Silverado 1500 – 21,666 Stolen

The GM pickup is also a favorite among car thieves. With 21,666 Silverado 1500s stolen, its popularity and high resale value for parts make it a constant target.

2. Hyundai Sonata – 26,720 Stolen

The Hyundai Sonata saw 26,720 units stolen. The same missing immobilizer flaw plagued this model, leaving it vulnerable to thieves equipped with nothing more than a USB cable or basic tools.

1. Hyundai Elantra – 31,712 Stolen

The Hyundai Elantra topped the list with an alarming 31,712 thefts in 2024. Many older models (2011-2021) lack electronic engine immobilizers, a basic anti-theft feature standard in most modern cars. Viral videos demonstrated how easily these cars could be stolen, making them prime targets.
