Americans' love of pickup trucks is well known, and this applies not only to those who have legally owned a pickup truck, but also to those who prefer to break the law. According to research, in 2021, pickup trucks became the most frequently stolen vehicles in most American states.

This is evidenced by a report published by the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB). According to the research, pickup trucks are the most stolen vehicles in 36 out of 50 US states, and in 27 states, they occupy the first two lines of the ranking.

The most popular vehicle among thieves in 2021 was the Chevrolet Silverado. Along with the GMC Sierra, Chevrolet and Ford pickups accounted for 14 percent of all vehicles stolen in America in 2020. Among passenger cars, the Honda Accord is the most popular among thieves. It took the top spot in 9 states.

Models such as the Honda Civic, Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, Nissan Altima, Honda CR-V, and Toyota Corolla account for 15% of all thefts. Approximately 1 million cars were stolen in the United States in 2020. This is 8% higher than in 2019, which is explained by the rise in used car prices.

NICB experts recommend that you always lock your doors, close the windows, and do not leave valuables in the car while parked. You should not leave a running car unattended, and it is also recommended to keep the key fob as far away from the car as possible when not in use.
