The Cadillac Escalade has become somewhat of a status symbol, so it comes as no surprise that car thieves target the luxury SUV more than any other car. The Associated Press reports that a new study by the Highway Loss Data Institute (HLDI) shows the vehicle is six times more likely to be stolen than the average car.

The findings were based on insurance claims of stolen cars between 2008 and 2010 and also included cars that had components such as parts and stereos stolen as well. Specifically, 10.8 claims were filed for every 1,000 insured Escalades compared to an average of 1.7 per 1,000.

"It's so wildly popular as far as pop culture goes," Matt Moore, a vice president of HLDI told the AP. "Watching the TV you see professional athletes coming in and out of them and other celebrities too. It's a status symbol."

While the Escalade was the most popular among crooks, the Audi A6 four-wheel drive was the least sought-after. Additionally, two American-made cars, the Mercury Mariner and Chevroley Equinox were low on the list as well.
