When you are the most popular vehicle on the road, you’re bound to be the most stolen

The Insurance Bureau of Canada has released their latest “Top 10 Most Frequently Stolen Vehicles” list and it’s absolutely full of trucks. Specifically, seven out of the 10 most stolen vehicles are Ford F-250 and F-350 trucks.

“The trend of stolen F-series trucks was also seen in Alberta where there was a 50% increase,” explained Rick Dubin, Vice-President, Investigative Services, IBC. “What’s more, for the first time in years, 3 stolen F-series trucks, intended for export, were seized at the ports of Montreal and Halifax.”

In total in 2013, 72,804 vehicles were stolen in Canada, a drop of 8 percent versus the year previous. Also, while most provinces saw declines, Newfoundland and Labrador (2 percent), Alberta (11 percent) and Yukon (29 percent) all saw increases.
