The Most Stolen Cars and Trucks in Louisiana

Having your vehicle stolen can be life-disrupting, from the anxiety of police and insurance reports to the challenge of replacing your car.

Many vehicles are stolen due to their high demand on the black market, making some models frequent targets.

Find out why thieves target specific cars and how to protect yourself from this growing problem.

One area of Louisiana that has become a serious problem for car theft is New Orleans.

Vehicle theft in New Orleans has gotten so bad this year that authorities are referring to the problem as an "epidemic".

According to legaljobs.io, the most stolen vehicle is the Chevy Silverado truck.

Not because there's anything wrong with the truck security-wise, but simply because there are so many Silverados on the road.

Each year the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) releases its "Hot Wheels" list of the most stolen cars and trucks in the U.S. and in each individual state.

David Glawe, President and CEO of NICB says that "used car values are at historical highs. We have seen a nearly 35% increase in used car values over the last two years due to supply chain issues and inflation."
