Ford truck owners beware.
F-series trucks are the most frequently stolen vehicles in Canada according to a 2014 report by the Insurance Board of Canada (IBC) released on Wednesday.
Big, rugged F-250 and F-350 trucks represent 7 of the top 10 targets, according to IBC's "Top 10 Most Frequently Stolen Vehicles list."
In order of popularity, the 10 most frequently stolen vehicles in Canada this year are:
- FORD F-350 SD 4WD PU 2007
- FORD F-350 SD 4WD PU 2006
- FORD F-250 SD 4WD PU 2007
- CADILLAC ESCALADE 4DR 4WD SUV 2003
- FORD F-350 SD 4WD PU 2005
- HONDA CIVIC 2DR COUPE 2D 1999

- FORD F-250 SD 4WD PU 2006

The IBC notes that, while the incidence of auto theft in Canada decreased 8 per cent from 2013 to 2014, Ford trucks, as well as high-end vehicles including those made by Lexus, Audi, BMW and Mercedes, remain attractive targets for organized crime rings that ships stolen vehicles overseas.
