Are QX4's ALMOST UN-STEALABLE? I never seem to read any news or MSN updates on MOST STOLEN VEHICLES!.
This makes me feel nice and warm inside if this car is Theft Proof!
Just wondering I guessMike

That's because they weren't thieves.
A buddy of mine does steering column repairs (theft recovery) for the insurance companies. I've seen him get into a new Lexus SUV, a new H2, and even my Q (on a challenge). Takes him NO time at all, and he's functionally illiterate (but GOOD at his job).
Like I said, it's a function of the numbers. QX4's are rare, there's not a lot of demand for their parts, and they don't frequent "rough" neighborhoods as a general rule. It doesn't make them ANY harder to steal than a Pathy or any other car.
Chevy pickups, Ford Tauruses, Honda Accords, Toyota Camrys, etc, - All are popular, therefore all need parts (and therefore drive the black market for stolen parts) and can be found in ALL areas of town, from the ghetto to the suburbs.
