Jaguar - 7 per 10,000 cars
You might think luxury cars like those made by Jaguar would be at the top of thieves shopping lists, but apparently they aren’t – that or thieves simply can’t make off with Jaguars because of the security equipment installed.
Of the cars Jaguar produces the older vehicles are the most stolen but even then their theft rates are comparatively low. Newer models like the XF are fairly common on UK roads but they are apparently well guarded against thieves.
