Hummer tops the most stolen vehicle list!
just found this article
Car thieves are little bothered by soaring gasoline prices as they continue to steal hot, high-priced little sports cars along with blinged-out gas-guzzling SUVs.
The 2001 BMW M Roadster is at the top of the most stolen list. One of every 200 on the road was stolen last year, according to the CCC Information Services Inc. of Chicago, an industry group that tracks theft and vehicle damage.
The vehicle with the highest theft percentage is deemed the year�s most stolen vehicle.
In raw numbers, the GM Hummer takes most-stolen-make honors, followed by Acura, Land Rover, Honda and Suzuki, according to CCC.
Perhaps most surprising is that in spite of escalating fuel costs, the full-size sport utility vehicle segment, including the Cadillac Escalade and Land Rover, remained the most stolen vehicle segment. Maybe crooks don't keep the cars long enough to gas them up?

Who in their right mind would steal a Land Rover? And certainly not a Freelander! They must have been talking about Range Rover.
