London and Midlands top car crime table
Cars are most likely to be stolen in London or the Midlands, a new study reveals.
Research carried out by insurance firm swiftcover.com also indicates Ford Fiesta or Volkswagen Golf owners are most likely to be victims of vehicle crime.
Under 50 per cent of victims will not see their property again and of those who do, 48 per cent of people will find their vehicles or belongings have been damaged, underlining the need for comprehensive motor insurance.
Robin Reames, claims director of the company, said: "Whether you live in a busy town, leafy suburbs or sleepy village, always keep your car secure even for just a few minutes.
"It's amazing how many people leave their keys in the ignition whilst de-frosting the car, or pop into the post office leaving their car windows open."
This week, price comparison website uSwitch.com claimed drivers under the age of 25 account for over one-fifth of total insurance premiums, despite making up just seven per cent of the market.
