Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat is 60 times more likely to be stolen than any other 2020-22 vehicle

The Dodge muscle car topped the HLDI's list of top 20 most frequently stolen cars, beating out Kia thefts, despite viral trend.

The unfortunate distinction belongs to the Charger SRT Hellcat, which is 60 times more likely to be stolen than any other car built between 2020 and 2022.

Beating out even the Kia thefts! That takes some doing.

Does it mention that it's 1000 times less likely than any other car, to see out on the street so that it CAN be stolen, in the first place?

 

[Lubener]

I heard it was 59 times as likely to be stolen.

A lot are stolen brand new from dealers and in transport to dealers from the manufacturer for export. Clearly organized crime.

People bad at math concepts do not understand concepts like skewed numbers. That, and the burning desire for salacious headlines.
There are lies, daam lies, and statistics.

Yeah - but the Kia still must be easier -
Like - nobody would work too hard …

I'd love to see some real numbers relating to such crimes.

Clearly organized crime.

The Mopar Mafia....couldn't resist.

Best one I’ve seen so far. Had a hellcat that was stolen being worked on for the insurance claim. Tech was done with it and parked it outside by the body shop area. Next day body shop asked him where he parked it. You know the next part. Yep…was stolen again

Folks on the forums are having dealers do RF hub lockouts. There's a TSB for it but it's not widely publicized. These are popular, too.

Are you sure that it's really beating out Hyundai/Kia thefts?

I mean considering they've been made 4x as long as any other current car on the road in basically the same body style likely skews the numbers.

Also 60x more likely to be wrecked in a Georgia or Arkansas State Police chase video on Youtube.

I'm not. I'm just re-posting what was in the article.

Here's the table:

So, the CR-V had 5.8x the number of thefts, but since the number of them on the road dwarfs the Hellcat, the kitty ends up looking way worse.
