Apparently the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) doesn’t just investigate vehicles and demand recalls from car makers.

Recently, the NHTSA conducted a survey to see which cars are the most or the least stolen in the USA.

It should come to no surprise that BMW’s X5 managed to get a very good score. Out of 1000 units built, the survey showed zero were stolen. This is quite impressive, and the other two cars that managed to get a perfect score were the Volvo XC70 and the Lexus SC.

On the other hand, the most stolen car in US seems to be:

• The Dodge Charger, which registered 4.8 thefts for each 1000 units
• The Mitshubishi Galant
• The Cadillac STS
• The Lamborghini Gallardo also make a shameful appearance as some of the most stolen vehicles.

As for the BMW X5, the NHTSA thinks the key feature that makes it hard to steal is the ignition immobilizers.
