Toyota Not On Canada's Most Stolen List. How Great Is That?
“Like most people, we here at Toyota love good news.” And God knows there’s not a lot of that going around these days. Even for the royal we here at Toyota, where we’re used to making more profit per year than GM’s market capitalization. No really. “So the following piece of business from the Insurance Institute of Canada (IIoC) interests us a great deal.” Well, the intern in charge of finding non-controversial Toyota-oriented material for Open Road, anyway. “The thing that’s caught our attention is a list from IIoC that purports to detail the 10 vehicles that were the most frequently stolen in 2008, and also the 10 cars least frequently stolen.” Sorry about that “purports” thing. You try and post blogs every day with Legal breathing down your neck. “So the good news is that the IIoC listed no Toyota products on the most-stolen list. None. Zilch. Nada. There are lots of other brands represented there, some of them repeatedly. Some luxury brands, some aging economy brands. But not us.” I swear, if TTAC says one thing about how this proves that we’re somehow undesirable, they will not get one press car. Do they get press cars? Oh, OK. Never mind.

beken is right. Minivans are stolen to be used during break and enters. Of course, it helps that they're also easy to steal anyway. But joyriding in a minivan? Wouldn't that be more accurately described as "depressed-riding?"
The Chrysler "Magic Wagons" were, for many, many years, our Ford F-150: i.e. the best-selling vehicle in Canada, all categories put together. Hence their most-stolen status: big market for parts!
