Toyota Hilux thefts more than double, Holden Commodore thefts halve, as stolen exports increase

Thefts of Toyota HiLux utes have more than doubled over the past 10 years – and almost one-in-three stolen are never recovered, suspected of being broken into parts which are then sold illegally in Australia and overseas. More than 2000 Toyota HiLuxes have been reported as stolen in the past financial year alone, estimated to have a combined insurance value of $31.7 million.
