Thieves follow market trends and target the most popular vehicles because they offer the best market for stolen vehicle parts and illegal export to other countries. Other vehicles are stolen at higher volumes than Escalade. Highway Loss Data Institute tracks theft losses by counting the number of claims by make and model comparing it to the number of each make and model insured. Escalade is equipped standard with multiple security features, including; audible theft-deterrent system, laser-etched VIN plate, PASS-Key theft deterrent, and OnStar's stolen vehicle tracking system. OnStar receives an average of 400-500 calls per month from GM customers requesting assistance in locating their stolen vehicles. In terms of locating stolen vehicles, OnStar provides Escalade with a clear competitive advantage. ------------------------- They sound kind of excited, like this proves Cadillac is the Hot car to own shaggygrosser 08-21-03, 09:51 PM I was about to say... there's some ballsy theives out there to try to steal a Cadillac with OnStar.
