Do you know where your truck is?

You might want to double check where your car is parked following a study released Tuesday by the Insurance Bureau of Canada found that high-end trucks and sport-utility vehicles were the most-stolen vehicles in Canada in 2017.

The most-stolen vehicle was the 2015 Lexus GX460 SUV, but eight of the 10 most-stolen were different versions of the Ford F-350.

“Automobile theft is much more than an insurance problem; it's an expensive social menace,” IBC wrote in its report. “Each year, automobile theft costs Canadians close to $1 billion, including $542 million for insurers to fix or replace stolen vehicles, $250 million in police, health care and court system costs and millions more for correctional services.”

According to IBC, most of the vehicles being stolen are being flipped into the used car market.

“Stolen vehicles may be sold to consumers who don't know they are buying a stolen car, scrapped for parts or used to commit another crime,” IBC wrote in the report. “Often, stolen vehicles are smuggled out of the country.”

New Brunswick saw the highest increase in vehicle theft among Canada’s provinces, with a 28 per cent increase last year. Ontario followed with a 15 per cent jump.

IBC also noted that this is the time of year that vehicle-owners need to be most vigilant about keeping an eye on their wheels.

“New Year’s Day is the most common time for vehicles to be stolen,” IBC wrote in the report. “Since people tend to travel over the holidays in cars filled with gifts, it is important to be vigilant and keep a close watch on your vehicle over the festive season.”
