Most Stolen Luxury Car

I wonder if C63's are part of the statistics.

Are they towed away or started somehow?

Over here in Australia (specifically Sydney) quite a few C63s and other high performance cars have been "carjacked" in very organised rackets. The gang learn the movements of their target car ie where it is parked by day or night and then relieve the driver of the car at gunpoint as he/she pulls into or out of their car park.

I would assume so. At least now I know I currently have the top 2 most likely to be stolen cars and have owned the 3rd most likely to be stolen car.

i bet they are. i would find it pretty hard to believe Randall "Memphis" Raines is going after the 328s, c250s and G35s. must be the M's, 63's, and i guess 37x's? i dont see how its worth it, they are a dime a dozen.

I hate you guys. I was doing a car shuffle yesterday afternoon and left my C63 in the driveway. Late in the evening after I read this I got up out of bed and put it in the garage!
