Even though I do have some outlaw blood in me, I'd never recommend that you or anyone else break the law. However, if you really need to have your vehicle stolen, I have it on good information that you really should consider parking it in Missouri.
I drive a vehicle that is now 18 years old so it's not surprising my car is not on the list of the most stolen vehicles in Missouri, but there are 3 models that get ripped off from their owners more than any others.
I was born and raised in Missouri and first learned to drive in my dad's pickup truck. How many in the state still drive pickups? There is new data and the number is mighty impressive.
Before I found the statistics, I had a perception of where I thought you'd be most likely to have your vehicle stolen in Missouri. I was very wrong and there's a good chance that the city in the Show Me State you think would have the highest percentage of vehicle thefts is not where you think, too.
I saw someone mention that it's completely illegal to ride in the back of a truck bed if you are in Illinois. That's technically not accurate as there are some exceptions, but they are very specific.
If I would have had to guess this, I would have gotten it completely wrong. Did you know that the worst city in Missouri for auto theft isn't Kansas City or St. Louis. It's not Springfield either. No, the most likely place to have your vehicle stolen also happens to be one of the worst in America.
