Bragging rights in Australia will surely be even more highly contested in light of the recent arguments between execs from BMW and Audi out there.
This story also comes hot on the heels of Audi being named best manufacturer for car security in the 2007 British Insurance Car Security Awards.
That award said that Audi had the most comprehensive theft protection of any company in Britain. Well in Australia the thieves have found a way to bypass the defenses.
A direct quote from the study by Suncorp states that Australian thieves tend to like to steal higher priced vehicles regardless of the deterrants.
"The most stolen vehicles were those in the $60,000 to $100,000 bracket, despite the fact that these have better theft protection."
I guess their is a market for high end car parts out there.
