I am not saying this is a list of cars you should avoid if you’re looking to get a new one, but I am saying if you do buy one of these cars, maybe you should also invest in a good alarm system… 

More than 32,000 vehicles so far have been reported stolen last year in Colorado, according to the Colorado Auto Theft Prevention Authority – Metropolitan Auto Theft Task Force (C-MATT). Passenger cars (10,367) and SUVs (9,817) were the types of vehicles most stolen last year, followed by pickup trucks (6,562) and motorcycles (1,763).

Here are the top 10 makes and models of vehicles stolen the most in Colorado in 2023:
