This statistic shows the frequency with which luxury or prestige cars are stolen in Great Britain in 2011 and 2012. These types of luxury cars are mostly stolen to order, meaning that they were sought out specifically on request rather than stolen by an opportunist. BMW, especially the X6 model, was by far the luxury brand which was stolen the most over this period.
Frequency of car models stolen to order in Great Britain (UK) in 2011 and 2012
(in offences per 10,000 registered vehicles)
From source: In all likelihood these models are ‘stolen to order’ – which means thieves look around for these specific models and steal them for an unscrupulous customer. More often than not they’ll be shipped abroad to a former Soviet or African country, where it’s incredibly tricky to trace them back to their original UK owner.
