> Thieves target the expensive cars because they’re worth more. It’s really that simple.
They don't target the expensive cars. The most stolen cars in the US are cheap Hyundais And Kias. Before they claimed the top spot on the list of cars taken most often the winner was pick up trucks and old Toyotas.
Thieves target what's easy to take and easy to chop up and sell, not luxury cars with high resale value.
As I said earlier, I have firsthand experience of this being the case.

You’re just proving my point here though. Thieves target cars that have the highest resale value.
Whether that’s as a whole, or for parts where the supply chain for genuine parts has become extremely expensive.
Organised crime happens for money.
Yeah there will there will be a subsection of society that steal cars for shits and giggles. But those also aren’t the sort of motives for hackers who’d go after Microsoft Sharepoint. So if we are to compare like-for-like, then you have to discuss organised crime rather than bored teenagers.
