Car thieves apparently love pickup trucks as much as new car buyers, according to a study published by Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's Highway Loss Data Institute.

The institute gauged the "relative claim frequency" of "whole vehicle theft" for models of passenger cars, pickups, SUVs, and vans for model years 2016 to 2018 to compile this list of the 20 most stolen cars in the United States.

Pickup trucks - still some of the best-selling cars in America - dominate the group. At the same time, three versions of the Dodge Charger are also listed with the Charger HEMI topping the list.
