Glen,

They usually seem to target the newer SLs rather than older SLKs. :)

Glen,

I think I remember that.

But carjacking a Hyundai? May as well carjack a skateboard. :) Probably handles better ....

The only time other drivers targetted my SLK, they aimed to hit me :roll:

Someone tried to steal my Hyundai excel a year or so ago. :roll:

I'm the first to admit it's a piece of shit; I really don't know why anyone would want to steal it.

But then, I guess they were pretty crappy car thieves since they broke my steering column and left the car where it was.

Hyandai's are stolen for parts (lucrative trade in Airbags). Benz's and Beemer's and Jag's are containered overseas. And watch out if you own a classic Mustang especially LHD.
