The Toyota Prius? For some reason this does not surprise me. The majority of the public still are hesitant to go with hybrids, and seems criminals are no exception. Between 2008-2010 a Prius was stolen at a rate of 1 in 606, compared to the average for all other model cars of 1 in 78 for the same time. The reason? The parts to the Prius from this time frame only work on a Prius. Sometimes when you steal parts from one type of car, that part may be interchangeable on a completely different model or make. Not with the Prius, all parts of the car from the engine down to the smallest part would not work in another car. So because of that, thieves are less likely to steal this car knowing it will be harder to move the parts. On a good note, when a Prius is stolen, it has a recovery rate of almost 97%.
