Ryan Joseph Ramos August 1, 2013

A report by the National Insurance Crime Bureau said that the Mercedes-Benz C-Class was the most stolen luxury car model between 2009 and 2012, accounting for 485 thefts during that period. That figure accounts for over ten percent of the total 4,384 reported thefts within that time frame. Mercedes-Benz is always among the top sellers in the luxury segment, and recent efforts by the German automaker have made owning one much easier.
