    300's, Chargers, & Magnums climing the Cars most often Stolen list fast

    Met with my insurance adjuster today. He said that in the Atlanta area that the Chrysler cars are quickly climbing the list of the cars that are most often stolen.

    He said that they are very easy to get into, and the ignition keylock is easy to defeat.

    Our steering wheels don't lock ???

    I'm really concerned now. What have you done to safeguard your car ?

    I find that hard to believe unless ATL car thieves have a fleet of wreckers.

    I don't believe it. From following the forums, I can't think of a single case of a stolen car where the thieves didn't somehow get access to an original key.

    When your car is stolen. How much does your insurance give you? Retail, market or wholesale value?

    Chrysler has a TSB on it and how to do it in the event that the WCM fails and a replacement is not available or on back order....
