The vehicle with the highest theft rate in Florida last year was a pickup truck.

That was the findings in a recent analysis of the most stolen vehicles in each state conducted by the National Insurance Crime Bureau or NICB.

Full size Ford pickup trucks topped the list in Florida.

Here were Florida’s top 10 stolen vehicles in 2022 according to NICB, listed with the most frequent vehicle year stolen and the number of thefts:

  1. Ford pickup (full size) – 2006 – 2,030
  2. Honda Accord – 2021 – 1,003
  3. Nissan Altima – 2015 – 1,000
  4. Chevrolet pickup (full size) – 2021- 992

  6. Toyota Corolla – 2021 – 887
  7. Honda Civic – 2020 – 772
  8. Dodge Charger – 2021 – 639
  9. Honda CR-V – 2021 – 580
  10. Hyundai Sonata – 2013 – 577

Nationally, the top 10 stolen vehicles and model year most often stolen were:

  • Chevrolet pickup (full size), 2004
  • Ford pickup (full size) 2006
  • Honda Civic, 2000

More than 85 percent of passenger vehicles reported stolen in 2022 were subsequently recovered by law enforcement or other means, with 34 percent recovered within a day of the vehicle being reported stolen, NICB said.

Vehicle theft rates for sedans, including Honda, Hyundai and Kia, followed those of full-size pickups, with recovery rates for Hyundais and Kias between 87 and 95 percent. Social media trends were a likely factor in their high theft rankings in 2022.

    Crimes of Convenience in many cases because owner of vehicle leaves keys, wallet or purse, all manner of personal items inside an unlocked car or truck.
    Stupidity is hard to overcome.
    Insurance companies that can prove people have vehicles unattended, keys inside, basically assisting in the theft, should be denied payments.

    Maybe if the insurance companies would stop paying for cars that are left unattended either running or with the keys in them, maybe this stupidity would stop. You’d learn real quick not to leave your keys in the vehicle. I can’t imagine do that, or leaving my vehicle running outside of a convenience store. Harsher, and I mean harsher punishments for crimes instead of permissive excuses for behavior would help too. It’s gotten out of control. Time to take control back.

    Those cars listed are impossible to steal WITHOUT THE KEY.. So the key is either left in it or the car is left open while running.
    Even worse is when there is a gun left in a OPEN vehicle.
