While car theft remains a serious issue worldwide, not all vehicles are equally at risk. Some cars are so undesirable to both thieves and buyers that they’re practically “unstealable.” A lack of demand for parts, outdated technology, and unremarkable performance often make these models unattractive to criminals. Thieves typically target vehicles with high resale value or popular parts, but cars with dated features or a reputation for reliability over excitement are often ignored. In fact, the Insurance Information Institute notes that theft rates are closely tied to a model’s popularity and ease of resale. It’s ironic—sometimes the best anti-theft device is simply driving a car nobody wants.
