I recently stumbled across these two articles [[http://www.detroitnews.com/story/business/autos/2017/07/12/stolen-vehicles-last-year/103641810/and https://www.michiganautolaw.com/blog...cars-michigan/) and found it interesting that the 2008 Chevrolet Impala has been the most stolen car in Metro-Detroit for two consecutive years.

The articles mention that the dated security features in these vehicles make it easier for thieves to target. Still, there are plenty of other vehicles with dated security. Why the Impala? Do there just happen to be a lot of them out on the road? Is there better scrap value for some of the parts? Is it all just coincidence? I thought this was an interesting tidbit of information and I was hoping to get some insight from anyone with a little more knowledge in auto sales.

I also don't mean to bring this up to negatively tie theft in with Detroit. Car theft happens throughout the country in every city. I'm just interested in knowing why the Impala is so desired here.
