You'll be incorrect

People steal cars to scrap parts, chop shop style

There are few simple places to re use bronco parts since it's a new model

Most stolen cars will continue to be Camry/civic/ accord because every part of the car can easily be resold and there's a huge market for the parts

True - but if you have an early reservation its going to take a very long time for your car to be replaced. I am going to be walking on eggshells a bit trying not to get into an accident because i have a feeling if i need a replacement parts it will take awhile
It’s not that bad of a delay. It just means they have to ship the part from the factory or supplier vs. getting it from the warehouse. They can make parts faster than they can assemble them. Enjoy the ride!

Certain types of cars are stolen for chop shops. Usually classic cars.
MOST stolen cars and trucks taken in this area (SF South Bay Area) are taken to use for night time crooking activities and then they're dumped by morning, or shortly thereafter.
I'm in the stolen vehicle/recovery report taking business.
If a late model (e-fob/push button start) car is taken, usually it's because they left the fob (or a spare) in the car, or in their second car that had a window smash burglary.

As others said, nobody is going to want to steal a Bronco. Standard security measures are fine, along with wheel locks. Nothing more is required. Now, accessories that are simply 'bolted' on, they might go missing.

I think you're most likely to deal with car jackings of newer model cars, but hope Arizona crime isn't that bad.

First, hope you exercise your 2nd amendment rights.
Second, be mindful of where you park the vehicle, think having it keyed or door dings are what most of us will deal with.
Third, stay vigilant of your surroundings and those around you. If something looks off, no shame in leaving an area
Fourth, avoid valet parking
Fifth, lock your car and don't leave crap in sight. Even those of us who will install HAM radios, take those out when not wheeling.

That list should help a little.
these are all great. Faraday bag for keys.

Super old thread... but yeah people posting could not be more wrong. 100% they steal them to ship them to africa and or dubai. Ask me how I know, I still miss my JL diesel. The diesel was freaking amazing. They found 3 months later on a shipping container about to leave the port.
