The report showed that theft claims for the Charger SRT Hellcat were more than 60 times higher than the average for all vehicles within the same model years. The Charger HEMI wasn't far behind, with theft claims more than 20 times higher than average. "If you own a Hellcat, you better check your driveway. These numbers are unbelievable," warned HLDI Senior Vice President Matt Moore.
Charger and Challenger models equipped with powerful engines have been consistently making the top five list of most-stolen vehicles since 2011. However, the rate of theft has seen a staggering increase in recent years. For the 2020-2022 Charger SRT Hellcat models, there were 25 whole-vehicle theft claims per 1,000 insured vehicle years. This marks a considerable uptick from about 18 for models from 2019-2021.
