Australians who own a Holden VE Commodore should keep a closer eye on their cars. According to new data reported by CarsGuide, the VE Commodore is the country’s most-stolen vehicle.
In total, 52,858 vehicles were stolen in 2017. The figure is actually lower than 2016 when 56,927 vehicles went missing. By a 200-car margin, the VE Commodore topped the list with 908 models reported stolen in 2017. The Nissan Pulsar fell to second place with 747 cars stolen. Rounding out the top five is the Toyota Hilux (2005-2011), Ford Falcon BA and the Holden VY Commodore.
The final Australian-produced Commodore, the VF generation, didn’t make its way to the top five, but data showed 352 VF Commodores went missing during 2017.
And where are the majority of vehicle thefts taking place? The state of Victoria leads with 12,768 stolen cars, or 38 percent of the country’s total.

Hell, I want to steal one, too. Truly bleak times ahead with nothing but CUVs, SUVs, trucks and electric self navigating pods on the horizon. Lock these V8 beauties in the garage because when FCA stops building Hemi powered Chargers and 300s, the gig is up. Likewise, the time is now to buy a Fiesta ST. With gas nearing $4.00 a gallon, it’s mind boggling that Ford can’t even give away anything smaller and sleeker than an M1 Abrams tank.
RIP affordable, fun cars. Thanks for killing them off along with manual transmissions and sanity in general, my fellow idiot global citizens.
India would love to host similar modle https://tutuappx.com/ if am not mistaken, what say about that sector of life?
