Interesting stats Paul!
What amazes me the most is that the 1975 mustang was the most stolen model of all time, can't be for the looks, so would have to be for its fuel efficiency during the oil crisis.

The Data Although data for all years is available, confidence in pre-1981 records is low due to the inconsistency in reporting protocols and vehicle identification number (VIN) systems in use prior to 1981. Since the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration required VIN standardization beginning with the 1981 model year, that year is the oldest reliable data used in this report. Data prior to 1981 is provided for information only. Overall, from 1981 through 2011, a total of 411,155 Mustangs were reported stolen. The most thefts occurred in 1981 (20,708) and the fewest in 2011 (4,347). You can download the complete data spreadsheet here. Thefts vs. Sales During the 30-year period from 1981-2011, a total of 4,110,110 Mustangs were sold in the United States. However, over the Mustang’s entire lifespan through the end of 2011, a total of 8,450,741 units have been sold in the United States. The single year with the most U.S. sales was 1966 with 549,436. Conversely, 2009 logged the fewest Mustang sales reaching only 66,623 units. The table below shows us where the Ford Mustang ended up on the annual Hot Wheels report for the years 2001-2010. The trend shows that the Mustang is becoming less and less of a target every year. Good news for us Mustang owners. Theft Year / Hot Wheels Position / Top Veh Year 2001 / 16 2000 2002 / 18 1995 2003 / 22 1995 2004 / 22 1995 2005 / 26 2000 2006 / 26 1995 2007 / 22 2000 2008 / 24 2000 2009 / 23 2000 2010 / 29 2000 The table below gives us a year-by-year look at the total Mustangs stolen for each given year. Since the Mustang has existed, a total of 611,093 have fallen victim to theft. (See note above about accuracy of pre-1981 records.) Year / Thefts 1964 / 2 1965 / 13 1966 / 44 1967 / 148 1968 / 1,018 1969 / 1,779 1970 / 2,959 1971 / 3,892 1972 / 14,146 1973 / 19,312 1974 / 22,705 1975 / 23,893 1976 / 23,241 1977 / 21,583 1978 / 20,556 1979 / 21,749 1980 / 22,898 1981 / 20,708 1982 / 18,393 1983 / 16,128 1984 / 14,734 1985 / 14,117 1986 / 14,611 1987 / 14,058 1988 / 15,117 1989 / 16,940 1990 / 17,165 1991 / 19,231 1992 / 19,485 1993 / 18,325 1994 / 16,624 1995 / 17,156 1996 / 15,732 1997 / 15,499 1998 / 13,676 1999 / 11,300 2000 / 11,004 2001 / 12,005 2002 / 11,434 2003 / 10,873 2004 / 10,220 2005 / 9,734 2006 / 8,748 2007 / 7,499 2008 / 6,048 2009 / 5,527 2010 / 4,717 2011 / 4,347 Total 611,093 The table below shows us what Mustang years have been stolen the most. The 2000 Ford Mustang tops the list with over 7,000 stolen. Year / Number of Thefts 2000 / 7085 1995 / 6790 1998 / 5394 2001 / 5103 2002 / 4226 2003 / 3966 1994 / 3949 2004 / 3234 1996 / 3045 1989 / 2629 1990 / 1784 2007 / 1741 2006 / 1484 1993 / 1242 2005 / 1147 1999 / 749 1988 / 700 2008 / 293 |
