During the launch of its Vehicle Theft Public Awareness Campaign 2021, the Vehicle Theft Reduction Council of Malaysia (VTREC) has shared a list of the top 10 most stolen vehicles in Malaysia last year.
The Proton Wira once again topped the list as the most stolen model in 2020, with 353 units reported stolen, although this is less than 564 units in 2019. Joining the Wira is another Proton model, the Iswara, with 273 units reported stolen, while the Toyota Hilux remained the most nicked non-national model, rounding out the podium with 209 units recorded.
Other familiar names on the list include the Perodua Kancil in fourth with 144 units, followed by the Myvi (131 units), the Saga (110 units) and Waja (104 units). The Honda Civic (85 units) and City (75 units) are now higher up in the list compared to 2019’s results, taking eighth and ninth place respectively. Meanwhile, fewer Toyota Vellfire cars were stolen in 2020, with 60 units recorded instead of 138 units in 2019.
Due to the movement control orders that loomed over much of 2020, the average number of vehicles reported stolen daily last year was 20 units, which is 37% less than the average of 32 units in 2019. On a related note, 7,400 cases were reported last year compared to 11,675 cases in 2019.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
The only time Proton topped the charts, syabas. many peepur lost their Ford Mustangs too… sigh
“the only time”? You clearly don’t know history. Even a Perodua fanboy know that is not true.. is this your attempt to “batu api”? pfftt..
After stealing the current civic the thief will have a nightmare becoz later he realize that its so ugly…origami gone wrong…and decides to return it back to honda showroom becoz he feels the owner shouldnt have bought it in the first place…
hardly see Ford Mustang in our place, how come many peoples lost it?
Wira, long live the king!
Those good ol days when lejenn Schumi driven Proton Wira 1.8 DOHC Exi @ top speed’ 236km/j … hotel Pan Pacific, Sepang menghala ke Cyber Jaya Lodge..
The lucky Wira owner got Schumacher autograph on front bonnet and a photo with him, the downside engine oil start to leak, worn out brake pad busted & radiator.
Those got demand cars are fast selling, some become sought after parts. Easy to unlock….
Lucky my Ferrari is not on the list…
Honda civic is a car that many people dream to own. that’s why the thieves steal them as it’s a highly prized item.
Hmmmm….Proton Wira tops the list of most stolen vehicles in Malaysia…confirm Malaysian car thieves got no taste…
No laa.. easy target. No immobiliser.
This show people still loves Proton in their hearts!
There are still quite a number of folks who appreciate the reliable simplicity of the 1980’s & 1990’s MMC-based engineering that is found in the Iswara & the Wira.
Many also loved BLM era Sagas which why they are in the listing. Popular cars will forever remain popular.
Proton should stick wiv mitsu instead geely,
Mitsu should stick wiv Mitsu instead Nissan.
I dont doubt that many people love Proton but i think that these cars are stolen for their spare parts since they’re very common = high demand for spare parts
Why they need spareparts? Cuz Proton cars are still in demand. Why are still demand? Cuz people still loves their Protons.
Congrats Malaysia lockdown and people comply with SOPs, all follow the LAW. Malaysia is safer now. Dredd agrees.
Thieves in Malaysia very patriotic.
Have Iswara will travel too.
Nothing new. It’s wira and hilux again for how many years in a row now.
Whoever steals a Peugeot deserves to be in jail! LOL
Actually he deserves a medal.
The insurance ppl will ROFL when they received a claim for stolen Peugoet. Hard to believe.
Production of new spareparts stopped, so curi-curi other ppl cars.
Kaki-modder sometime obtain (stolen) Wira parts and convert for lumba-lumba purpose.
Watch out for Iswara, Wira or Waja especially those heavily tinted ones. Accesorised with parangs.
Its not stolen, but the owner declare stolen to get an insurance. Better money than you sell to market. Who wants Wira and Iswara?
Wira so “WANTED” but no RV at all.
