The Bayou State is in a three way tie with Tennessee & North Carolina for the 10th highest rate of vehicle thefts in the US. So, what vehicles are the most popular with Louisiana car thieves? If you have a Kia, beware. Four Kia models are among Louisiana’s 10 most stolen.
The top 5 most stolen cars in our state are the Hyundai Elantra, and Sonata, Kia optima, Chevy Silverado 1500 and Kia Soul. The Honda Accord is #6, followed by the Honda Civic at #7, Kia Forte at #8, and Ford F150 at # 9. The Kia Sportage rounds out the top 10. Experts recommend parking in well lit areas, never leaving your car unlocked, and not leaving valuables visible inside the vehicle. You can also consult your dealer about installing extra security features.
