Interestingly, the National Insurance Crime Bureau pretty much confirms what IHS says and went one further by telling me that there's a definite link between the increased incidence of suspicious reported cases of vehicle theft and the rising cost of gas. The NICB's top 10 list overlaps with some of the vehicles in the list you mentioned. You might be interested to read my full story at http://tinyurl.com/6bkmh3.

The fact that some of these vehicles aren't available in some markets (most notably Russia) really drives the demand. I can recall seeing several SUVs (Excursions, Escalades) in St. Petersburg with NA-spec bumpers- clearly imported, but not necessarily with the consent of the previous owner!

I am sure the insurance companies see this but it would be really hard to prove most of the time. I wonder how many of these vehicles are recovered after being stolen?
