If you follow these top ten most stolen car lists, issued annually by the Insurance Bureau of Canada , you’ll be surprised, too, at the big shift in makes and models for 2020, upending what’s usually a pretty stagnant set of rankings.
However, this is the first year enough newer SUVs were stolen in Ontario to push those vehicles to the dominant position on the list instead of the pickups. Take a boo at Ontario thieves’ taste for Japanese SUVs when you run down that province’s top ten. “The older pickups are often stolen to be parted out,” says IBC’s Bryan Gast, National Director of the Investigative Services Division. “They’re also frequently used in the commission of other crimes — like stealing ATMs.” If you’re going to tug a huge metal box out the wall it’s mounted in, you’re going to need a bigger truck.
