New numbers from the Houston Police Department reveal the most targeted vehicle by thieves within the city this year.
"This is the type they’re stealing," said HPD Sgt. Tracy Hicks from their auto theft division. "Maybe the top of the line, but it doesn’t have all of the extras, because it blends in. It doesn’t stick out in traffic."
General Motors makes both Chevy and GMC trucks. So, the trend is even more noticeable when combining the number of stolen Chevy and GMC trucks. "If we total up all of our other stolen cars, even down to the top 20 and total them up, they don’t add up to the amount of Chevy/GMC vehicles being stolen," said Sgt. Hicks. "Crooks have figured out how to steal these with little or no tools at all."Dodge trucks: 322
Sgt. Hicks says burglars are using a tool to trick computers in these trucks into thinking they have the electric key. Within minutes, Hicks says thieves can steal certain Chevy and GMC truck models.MORE CARS AND AUTO NEWS Police would like people concerned about their vehicle getting stolen to invest in a new alarm system. Also, if you purchase a used car, try the hand key in all the doors to make sure it works. If only the electric key is successful in unlocking the doors, police say the vehicle is likely stolen.
