Btw - crooks most often steal high end Mercs /AGG variants, BMW/M series and large newish SUV's and high-end landrover - almost always less than a year old.
Often stolen to requirments.
But they also steal "ordinary" cars to blend in whilst they are cruising around stealing catalytic converters.
They also just wander around residential roads opening car after car and taking what they can find from the car - quite profitable over a couple of hours even if it doesn't seem like a lot from an individual car.
