A study by naval themed, parrot wielding insurance sailors, ‘Admiral Insurance’ recently revealed that the Toyota Yaris is one of the most stolen vehicles in the country with one in every 244 being stolen by thieves. We all remember the Toyota slogan ‘The Car in Front is a Toyota’ but I would usually expect it to belong to the driver. According to the survey other tasty targets for thieves include the VW Touareg (1 in every 256) and the Volvo XC90 (1 in every 370).

Perhaps the moral of the story is that if you happen to want to prevent your car from being stolen whilst visiting the shops without spending money improving the manufacturers security then simply park between two of the above.
