If you think the Toyota Camry or the Honda Civic tops the list of most stolen cars, you would be wrong. It turns out that crooks have swayed towards more horsepower and pickup trucks as their stolen car of choice.

The Highway Loss Date Institute released the report on the most stolen vehicles, and Dodge Charger Hemi and The Dodge Challenger SRT are at the top of the list.

Also on the list is the Infiniti Q50 and pickup trucks like the Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The Cadillac Escalade used to top the list until the automaker upped their security making it harder to be stolen.

While there is new technology to stop car thefts, researchers say people are leaving key fobs in the cars, which allow people to simply drive away.
