No more than other cars
http://www.carmagazine.co.uk/car-new...-year-running/ doesnt even put them in the top 10
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/...?frame=2630948 doesnt either

There's several places to find lists of stolen cars and after briefly browsing them I'm never buying a German car again :lol:

Any vehicle deemed as a performance car will always feature high on a car thiefs shopping list. There good for any underhand jobs they have in mind and also good for breaking for parts.
If you look into any forum there will be a thread some where on stolen cars wether it be vxr evos porches etc.

Don't be put off by them just because they get stolen now and then. 90 percent of car thiefs now a days are little more then smack rats out for a wage that will break into your house and take keys. There for doesn't matter what car you have its going.

The car thiefs that actually know what there doing and will go out with a laptop and some software won't bother with older cars what's the point when they can take a rangey sport and brake it for a lot more with the same risks as pinching a Vauxhall nova

Already know about and I have no problems with not buying a brand new car, would rather spend the money on a house :)

I'd be more worried if I had a Focus RS, the rate they're disappearing is frightening.

9 cars in 48 hours thats quite bad to be honest. Do feel sorry for the owners to have their pride and joys stolen.

The odb hack isn't a hard thing to fix tho mate just cut and extend the wires to back of plug and move it. It only works as its positioned in a way as slandered the alarm won't go off.

Saying this it would also probably void any warranty the car came with
