    Cadillac Escalade Tops Most-Stolen List - KickingTires

    Column 1 Column 2 Column 3 Column 4
    0 vehicle frequency Avg. loss
    1 Hummer H2 6.2 $10 324
    2 Prius 0.8 $2 203
    Insurance Institute data

    Ok, "Here's the deal. We can't hear the Prius comin' so we don't go out to rip it off. . . ."

    Perhaps, 'Do you know how much gas we can drain from a Hummer?'

    Alternative, "My posse laughed at me!"

    Slogan, "Prius, so good the bad guys leave it alone."

    Or Hummer owners leave 'em unlocked with the keys in the ignition hoping they get stolen!

    #5 is Corvette and the average loss payment is $41k. I guess most owners never get it back.
