这20辆车是美国失窃最多的新车

America's love affair with horsepower and trucks apparently includes illicit activity.

美国人对马力和卡车的喜爱显然包含了非法活动。

Powerful cars like the Dodge Charger and pickups like the Chevrolet Silverado are among the most-stolen new vehicles in the U.S., according to a new study by the Highway Loss Data Institute.

公路损失数据研究所(Highway Loss Data Institute)的一项新研究显示，道奇充电器(Dodge Charger)等功能强大的汽车和雪佛兰(Chevrolet)Silverado等皮卡属于美国失窃最多的新车之列。

Electric vehicles, it turns out, are among the least stolen, according to the HLDI, an affiliate of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

据公路安全保险协会(Insurance Institute for Highway Safety)下属机构HLDI统计，电动汽车的失窃率是最低的。

The study gauges the frequency of theft, not volume. In other words, it measures how likely your car is to get stolen, regardless of the vehicle's sales.

这项研究评估的是盗窃的频率，而不是数量。换句话说，它衡量的是你的车被盗的可能性有多大，而不管这辆车的销量如何。

As a general rule of thumb, newer vehicles are harder to steal than older cars because of advancements in theft prevention. But they're also more lucrative targets.

一般来说，由于防盗技术的进步，新车比旧车更难被盗。但它们也是更有利可图的目标。

And the theme of HLDI's list of most-stolen new cars is pretty clear.

HLDI列出的被盗新车最多的名单的主题非常明确。

"These are all expensive vehicles, which makes sense," said Matt Moore, senior vice president of HLDI. "If you're going to steal a vehicle – if you're going to commit a crime – you're likely going to want to profit from that crime."

HLDI高级副总裁马特•摩尔(Matt Moore)表示:“这些都是昂贵的汽车，这是有道理的。”“如果你要偷一辆车，如果你要犯罪，你很可能想从犯罪中获利。”

Several pricey Dodge muscle cars have the dubious distinction of making the list.

几辆昂贵的道奇肌肉车也榜上有名。

For example, a Dodge Charger with a HEMI engine is the biggest target. It's stolen 5.4 times more often than the average vehicle, according to the study. The 2018 Charger ranges in price up to $66,295. Two other editions of the Charger are also on the list.

例如，带有HEMI引擎的道奇充电器是最大的目标。根据这项研究，它被偷的次数是普通汽车的5.4倍。2018款充电器的价格最高可达66295美元。另外两个版本的充电器也在名单上。

Multiple versions of the Dodge Challenger are among the most stolen, including the Challenger SRT Hellcat, which is priced at $64,295.

道奇挑战者的多个版本是被盗最多的，包括挑战者SRT Hellcat，售价64,295美元。

Several pickups make the list, illustrating how valuable those vehicles are becoming.

几辆皮卡也榜上有名，说明这些车正变得越来越值钱。

"It’s hard to buy a cheap pickup truck these days, and it’s not difficult to spend $60,000 or more," Moore said.

摩尔说:“现在很难买到便宜的小货车，花6万美元甚至更多也不是什么难事。”

How are these cars being stolen? That's very difficult to say. But experts say vehicle theft is on the rise, in part because people are making it easy for thieves by leaving their keyfobs in the car, which allows the criminal to use the keyless ignition without even needing to find the keyfob.

这些车是怎么被偷的?这很难说。但专家表示，汽车盗窃正在上升，部分原因是人们把钥匙放在车里，让小偷更容易下手。这样一来，犯罪分子就可以在不需要钥匙的情况下使用无钥匙点火装置。

It's difficult to say for certain what happens to specific vehicles after they're stolen. Some are sold for parts. Others are illegally exported to foreign countries.

很难确定特定车辆被盗后会发生什么。有些是卖零件的。其他的则被非法出口到国外。

Still others are illegally reported stolen even though they are only damaged, which is insurance fraud, Moore said.

摩尔说，还有一些车被非法报道被盗，尽管它们只是受损，这是保险欺诈。

The least stolen vehicle? That's the four-door BMW 3-series sedan, which is about 25 times less likely to be stolen than the average new car.

偷得最少的车?这是宝马3系四门轿车，失窃几率是普通新车的25倍。
