Most liked posts in thread: MINI One of the Least Stolen Vehicles

Just saw something about this on the local news. I commented that I had never heard of a stolen MINI.

Now if you happen to own an Escalade, you have the #1 stolen car, plus the knowledge that they can haul off most of your high priced possessions with it.

If Nathan is a 'typical' MINI owner, they haven't stolen it because it doesn't run!

(cheap shot... yeah, but the Gnat is back up and running! Yea)

 

If it's lowest in it's category I wonder how many other cars are in the 'minicar' category?

It's a shame we're in the same category as a Prius. It's no wonder why nobody steals those, it's tough to make a high-speed getaway at 30mph. :lol:

 

the prius would blend right it though there is a ton in cali

 

Anyone else notice that most of the top stolen vehicles are large truck/suv's???
The better to haul away stolen merch I suppose???

 

I wonder how many 55" HD TVs fit in the back of a MINI?

 

One.........

 

It's not the getaway, it's the stopping! :eek6:

 

Who steals an F-250?? The Silverado and Escalade make sense in my mind but an F-250? Maybe they ran out of space in the getaway car.

 

And yet, ironically, one of our local club members had her '04 MCS stolen just a couple weeks before this report came out.

 

Same around here, which is farm country. The local Ford dealer only has a few cars on the lot and acres of trucks.

They had the key tho, right?

 

Scott, I was thinking the same thing, or a flatbed.

I've never heard of a MINI being stolen without without the key being stolen first or a flat-bed truck involved. Anyone else?

 

The owner had the key in her possession, I believe. Parked at night, all was well, came out the next morning, no MINI.
