By Dave Bean, FMW Associate Editor
Once the Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat and Dodge Charger HEMI are purchased and brought home, it’s a challenge to keep them there – thanks to auto thieves who have been appropriating them at a record setting pace.
These two Dodge models have the dubious distinction of, once again, headlining the Highway Loss Data Institute’s (HLDI) roster of most-stolen vehicles in their whole-vehicle theft report for model years 2020 through 2022.
