  1. GMC Sierra Pickup – 1,170
  2. Ford F-Series Pickup – 1,017
  3. Toyota Camry – 976
  4. Nissan Altima – 912
  5. Chevrolet Silverado Pickup – 790

  7. Ford Transit Van – 723
  8. Dodge Charger – 719

Beyond heeding obvious common sense – park in a well lit area, lock your doors, and never leave your keys or the remote key fob in an unattended vehicle – the NICB recommends using a visible or audible warning device to deter thieves. Having a simple hidden “kill switch” installed that disables the ignition system unless its activated generally affords the most bang for the buck in this regard.
