Washington, DC - Car Thieves Target Cadillac Escalade
Washington, DC - The Cadillac Escalade, the bold and shiny luxury sport utility vehicle popular with Hollywood's A-List, rappers and star athletes, apparently also attracts an ill-intentioned constituency: car thieves.
Escalades had the highest rate of insurance theft claims for the fourth straight year, according to a study released by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The Escalade was followed by the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution and the Dodge Ram 1500 quad cab pickup.
The Highway Loss Data Institute, an affiliate of the insurance institute, noted the Escalade offers plenty of eye candy to tempt thieves, from chromed wheels and leather seats. Not to mention a marketing campaign that links the Escalade to the hip and trendy.
