But even with those gains, SUVs still are behind cars when it comes to gas mileage. The reason: SUVs are taller and heavier than cars, and no matter how sculpted their bodies are, they still run into more wind resistance. (AP Photo/Paul Sancya)

Could you own a vehicle that is more likely to be stolen than other vehicles? An organization focused on reducing and preventing insurance fraud and crime has compiled a list of the Top 10 Stolen Vehicles in 2021 in Canada.

Èquité Association said Canada is becoming a "source country" for the export of stolen vehicles.

Topping the list for 2021 is the Honda CR-V.

It found there were 4,117 Honda CR-Vs stolen in 2021, with the models ranging from 2016 to 2021.

Second on the list is the Lexus RX Series, with models ranging from 2016 to 2021. Of those owned Lexus RX Series in the country, 2,202 were stolen. While there were fewer of these vehicles stolen, the theft rate was much higher compared to the Honda CR-V, 6.4 per cent to 1.7 per cent respectively.

The Ford F150 Series rounds out the top three with 1,182 thefts in 2021, models ranging from 2015 to 2020.

"Not only does auto theft cost Canadians millions of dollars each year, but the proceeds of this illegal activity also fund organized crime and terrorism, both domestically and internationally," said Bryan Gast, the vice president of investigative services at Èquité Association, in a news release.

The rest of the Top 10 includes:

· Honda Civic, 768 were stolen, models 2016 to 2021;

· Toyota Highlander, 748 were stolen, models 2013 to 2019;
