Check Out the Top 10 Most Stolen Vehicles in the State of MI

Every year thousands of vehicles are stolen in Michigan and throughout the United States.

Today, we're going to look at the 10 most stolen vehicles in the state of Michigan.

You would think in this day and age car companies would come up with something more to defend against the theft of newer vehicles. Yet, here we are in 2023 and criminals can still outsmart those big companies. It's true (sort of), the most stolen vehicle in Michigan is a 2020 model. It must be an easy one to snatch because there were 1,148 stolen in 2021.

We can't blame it entirely on the manufacturer as car owners are usually just as much to blame, if not more.

Using data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (released in April 2020), we analyzed the average price for a gallon of unleaded regular gasoline from 1976 to 2020 along with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for unleaded regular gasoline from 1937 to 1976, including the absolute and inflation-adjusted prices for each year.
