Most stolen model
Overview
South Australia has a disproportionately high per capita rate relative to its population. Adelaide's northern suburbs (Salisbury, Elizabeth, Playford) are the primary hotspots. The Holden Commodore remains the most stolen vehicle, a legacy of the strong Commodore culture in SA. Many thefts are opportunistic, with keys left in vehicles or unlocked vehicles in driveways.
