這20輛車是美國失竊最多的新車
America's love affair with horsepower and trucks apparently includes illicit activity.
美國人對馬力和卡車的喜愛顯然包含了非法活動。
Powerful cars like the Dodge Charger and pickups like the Chevrolet Silverado are among the most-stolen new vehicles in the U.S., according to a new study by the Highway Loss Data Institute.
公路損失數據研究所(Highway Loss Data Institute)的一項新研究顯示,道奇充電器(Dodge Charger)等功能強大的汽車和雪佛蘭(Chevrolet)Silverado等皮卡屬于美國失竊最多的新車之列。
Electric vehicles, it turns out, are among the least stolen, according to the HLDI, an affiliate of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
據公路安全保險協(xié)會(Insurance Institute for Highway Safety)下屬機構HLDI統(tǒng)計,電動汽車的失竊率是最低的。
The study gauges the frequency of theft, not volume. In other words, it measures how likely your car is to get stolen, regardless of the vehicle's sales.
這項研究評估的是盜竊的頻率,而不是數量。換句話說,它衡量的是你的車被盜的可能性有多大,而不管這輛車的銷量如何。
As a general rule of thumb, newer vehicles are harder to steal than older cars because of advancements in theft prevention. But they're also more lucrative targets.
一般來說,由于防盜技術的進步,新車比舊車更難被盜。但它們也是更有利可圖的目標。
And the theme of HLDI's list of most-stolen new cars is pretty clear.
HLDI列出的被盜新車最多的名單的主題非常明確。
"These are all expensive vehicles, which makes sense," said Matt Moore, senior vice president of HLDI. "If you're going to steal a vehicle – if you're going to commit a crime – you're likely going to want to profit from that crime."
HLDI高級副總裁馬特•摩爾(Matt Moore)表示:“這些都是昂貴的汽車,這是有道理的。”“如果你要偷一輛車,如果你要犯罪,你很可能想從犯罪中獲利。”
Several pricey Dodge muscle cars have the dubious distinction of making the list.
幾輛昂貴的道奇肌肉車也榜上有名。
For example, a Dodge Charger with a HEMI engine is the biggest target. It's stolen 5.4 times more often than the average vehicle, according to the study. The 2018 Charger ranges in price up to $66,295. Two other editions of the Charger are also on the list.
例如,帶有HEMI引擎的道奇充電器是最大的目標。根據這項研究,它被偷的次數是普通汽車的5.4倍。2018款充電器的價格最高可達66295美元。另外兩個版本的充電器也在名單上。
Multiple versions of the Dodge Challenger are among the most stolen, including the Challenger SRT Hellcat, which is priced at $64,295.
道奇挑戰(zhàn)者的多個版本是被盜最多的,包括挑戰(zhàn)者SRT Hellcat,售價64,295美元。
Several pickups make the list, illustrating how valuable those vehicles are becoming.
幾輛皮卡也榜上有名,說明這些車正變得越來越值錢。
"It’s hard to buy a cheap pickup truck these days, and it’s not difficult to spend $60,000 or more," Moore said.
摩爾說:“現在很難買到便宜的小貨車,花6萬美元甚至更多也不是什么難事。”
How are these cars being stolen? That's very difficult to say. But experts say vehicle theft is on the rise, in part because people are making it easy for thieves by leaving their keyfobs in the car, which allows the criminal to use the keyless ignition without even needing to find the keyfob.
這些車是怎么被偷的?這很難說。但專家表示,汽車盜竊正在上升,部分原因是人們把鑰匙放在車里,讓小偷更容易下手。這樣一來,犯罪分子就可以在不需要鑰匙的情況下使用無鑰匙點火裝置。
It's difficult to say for certain what happens to specific vehicles after they're stolen. Some are sold for parts. Others are illegally exported to foreign countries.
很難確定特定車輛被盜后會發(fā)生什么。有些是賣零件的。其他的則被非法出口到國外。
Still others are illegally reported stolen even though they are only damaged, which is insurance fraud, Moore said.
摩爾說,還有一些車被非法報道被盜,盡管它們只是受損,這是保險欺詐。
The least stolen vehicle? That's the four-door BMW 3-series sedan, which is about 25 times less likely to be stolen than the average new car.
偷得最少的車?這是寶馬3系四門轎車,失竊幾率是普通新車的25倍。
