According from data i’ve seen on auto theft statistics, although it seems a little bit outdated I can make conclusion from the statistic shown that most of stolen car in the US is family car (general purpose – non exclusive cars) ~I made out that term name. There are several reason of course for this matter, firstly it is obviously because those cars are massively produced and owned by people so that chance of being stolen is stastically higher than limited cars (for example). Second main reason is because of those cars usually easy to be turned into quick cash, easy to sell and market (illegal market) are accepting them generously.
So for car owners, how do you prevent bad guys to steal your car? Basic tips is use security system like basic alarm, additional key systems, starter interrupt device and something like that. Car alarms is the most basic security system for your cars, generally they are planted system which may have many triggering switch who can ring the alarm in several condition. Additional key can be the next installed to your car after the basic alarm, since alarms are usually easy to break with single cut of cable (I’ve seen on movies), then starter interrupt device maybe your last defense against car stealers, it prevent the engine starting without your permission.
