I'm not sure if you were agreeing with me or arguing the point? lol. As I said, typically older cars like the old Familia, early Impreza etc.


But robbers aren't pinching recent models - 92 per cent of theft claims for models in the list were for cars manufactured more than 10 years ago.

The average value of a stolen vehicle claim from the list was $5120.

Reps always drove Vauxhall (Holden, Opel) Cavaliers (replaced by the Vectra)

MX5's and other such small cars were hairdresser cars.

Ford Escort XR3 (in white only) were Essex girls cars.
