2018 CR-V Most Stolen Vehicle

A CR-V??? I can see the Lexus but a CR-V?
I guess Africans like Honda LOL Maybe they are just very easy to steal.
"in 2020, the most stolen car was the 2018 Honda CR-V, followed by the 2017 Lexus RX350 and then the 2017 Honda CR-V."

I'd love to see the statistics of what percentage of stolen vehicles were push button start. Were keys really that hard to use for the past 100 years?

There were more CR-V sold than RX nationally. I don't surprise the number came on top over RX in Canada.

Maybe it's cheaper to Service and get replacement parts for 2018 CR-V? compared to a Lexus? *shrugs* IDK.
I am also surprised by the List.

You are probably correct . It is also a low key vehicle comped to the RX.

Most of them I suspect. The CR-V and Lexus do. As the articles said "Thieves break into the SUVs or trucks and are able to reprogram a new key into the vehicle's computer, Belanger said. They return 15 minutes later, hit the start button and drive off, usually in the middle of the night.".
