4.Honda Mobilio – 32 units stolen in Q3 2020

5.Mitsubishi Xpander – 28 units stolen in Q3 2020
An interesting model, the Mitsubishi Xpander is highly targeted by car thieves. The sale value is considered very good as a stolen car.
Indeed, at this time the line of cars is a car that is very popular in sales so it is very possible that other cars that are selling well are also the target of thieves. Selling cars such as the Honda Brio , Nissan Livina to the Toyota Kijang Innova are quite vulnerable to being stolen.
Actually, these stolen cars are not without the extra security provided by the car owner. Various security technologies have been implemented, but various ‘theft tricks' are carried out in line with the high demand of the market or fenders.
With a relatively cheap price, or around 10 percent of the original price, the stolen car is selling well. It is undeniable that vehicles in big cities are more often stolen and the majority of stolen cars will be used in remote areas which are rarely raided by the police.
In fact, buyers or users of the stolen Toyota Avanza will be subject to Article 480 of the Criminal Code concerning Collectors of Stolen Proceeds with the threat of a sentence of 4 years in prison. And of course this penalty applies to all stolen cars.
To avoid car theft, make sure all safety locks have been installed. And if you have to leave the car, try it in a place that is crowded enough so as not to provide room for thieves.
