cobradad Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 Conversation has been going on already... It mentions '09 cars, yet there were no '09 SGT's Forum link CC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6-Speed Posted November 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 I didn't realize this was the tech section. I should have looked in the discussion forums first. I believe they were just claiming which ones were being stolen in 2009. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobradad Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 How I read it was that it was using cars bought vs stolen during the 2009 year which as others mentioned on the other link, there were no '09 SGT's so were they counting GT500's or '07. '08 SGT's GT500's or all the above?? Did the statistician know the difference, probably not, thus the bogus data results. More scary for me was the article listing the10 cities where your car would most be stolen in. 8 out of 10 were in CA, the other 2 in WA.
