The most stolen Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV)!
According to The Highway Loss Data Institute, which is part of the Arlington-based Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, calculated theft claim rates for vehicles from the 2007-2009 model years. The data reports thefts per insured vehicles on the road.
The Escalade, which starts at $62,495, has ranked as the most-stolen in six of the last seven reports. A theft claim is filed for one out of every 100 insured Escalades, the group said, and the average insurance payout is $11,934. That compares with an average of $6,883 for all vehicles.
Almost one in every four Escalade theft claims is for $40,000 or more. Escalades are equipped with antitheft ignition immobilizers that prevent them from being started without a special key, but that doesn't prevent some thieves from hauling them away on flatbed trucks,
"Thieves are smart and they are after chrome, horsepower and HEMIs,"
The Institute said the frequency of theft claims for cars and SUVS has been declining since 1998. Pickup thefts also had been on the downswing until 2006, when the Institute noticed an uptick in claims!
Buyer of Escalade be aware!
This is just FYI only!
Thanks.

Denver Metro Area Housing statistics!
The top 10% of the homes, those that sell for over $460K
The top 5% starts at $600K+.
The top 1% of the most expensive homes sold is those over a million!
From 1/1/2008 to 6/30/2010, for all of the sold that was reports in the MLS for the Denver metro area. So that doesn't include Boulder, Ft Collins, Colorado Springs, or the mountain resort areas!
Sales were up in second quarter (2Q) 2010 vs. second quarter (2Q) of last year 2009 is plus (+13%) overall!
The number of REO and bank owned foreclosures sales peaked in first quarter (1Q) 2009, and has declined since then!
The number of short sales (S/S) has been climbing steadily since their debut in third quarter (3Q) 2008.
For the first time, there were more luxury home (S/S) than REO sales in the second quarter (2Q) 2010.
The number of distress sales (S/S + REO) relative to the total number of sales, you see that the distress ratio is pretty consistent between 10 - 15% of the market!
Prices for luxury homes fell from $250 per square foot (2008) to $230 per square foot (most of 2009). They did recently increase +3% in the second quarter (2Q) 2010.
While "regular" sales are around $239 / sq ft; distress sales sell at about a 20% discount. REO homes sold for $196 / sq ft and short sales sold for $201 / sq ft.
So the (REO) are better price then the (S/S) per sq foot!
This is just FYI Only!
Thanks.
