I would like to knowFYI ... It showed in detail how the LX570 and LC200 can be stolen in under 2 minutes.
The article is from Ontario Canada, and it shows that 1 in 10 Lexus 570 is stolen.
Also very high up on the list was the LC 200.
Number percentages are per vehicle sold.
It showed how thieves pick the door lock (10 seconds) and then either use a signal booster (if you leave your keys near the front door) or code a new FOB (with a $1000 programmer) in under 3 minutes.
The vehicles are then put in containers and shipped over seas.
Obviously deterrent methods are kill switches, GPS Tracking systems, or visible secondary alarm systems, as these methods use OEM security.
It showed how the vehicles on some of these shipments were arriving in West Africa for sale.
List by cars most stolen by percentage sold.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard of a lc200 or lx570 being stolen in North America… ever. But I don’t live in Canada.
Number 1 vehicle I’ve heard of being stolen is a f250. Apparently it’s very easy to punch the lock, Hotwire, and drive off.
And then use for work. Lots of Texas-plated stolen pickups driving around Belize.I don’t think I’ve ever heard of a lc200 or lx570 being stolen in North America… ever. But I don’t live in Canada.
