<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>With an unmatched theft frequency index of 757, Hyundai's sporty Tiburon coupe was the most sought-after of all 2001 and 2002 models in Canada by car thieves.</div>

didn't know that. guess i will have to be more cautious when i go to canada a.

Thats a pretty neat little fact! Nice to know i have an alarm for something!

silvertibbs 05-09-2005 04:45 PM

Yeah that was the 2001-2002 years though (Yes I know there was no tib in 02 but there were still cars)

I don't remember seeing or hearing about any being stolen. I heard it's because of the cheap ignition's Hyundai used. dunno.gif

I think it's just cause any RD is sooo sexy that they just have to have it.

That is pretty interesting...I'll have to remember to catch a ride from friends when I go up to Canada from now on!

Is that number 756 out of 10,000 or what, thats not that suprising about the looks who wouldnt want it but I wold think not enough people would be that knowledgeable abut stealing tibs :o

Still, at least there's hundreds of other cars that thieves prefer to Tibs.

Everyone needs a car alarm. Especially when you can get a basic one installed for $99 that will pay for itself in insurance savings. Although a lot of the cheap installs are exactly that.

A bigger problem where I live is vandalism and smash and grabs, something I'm much more concerned about than vehicle theft. A flashing LED might make them move onto another car, even if it's not a real alarm. Worth the few bucks IMO.
