1. Ford Fiesta
1. Ford Fiesta
One of Britain’s most popular cars is also the most stolen. Later models drive better and are as good to drive as any rival supermini.

Why is it so popular with thieves?
older versions very easy to break into, later models although improved are still fairly poor. Locks and a weak steering lock make the Fiesta vulnerable.

How can I stop it getting stolen?
- fit a good quality steering lock
- if you’ve got alloy wheels fit locking wheel nuts
- park safely; try to avoid dark car parks
- don’t leave anything on show in the cabin
