A new report from the Philadelphia Police Department is shedding light on a disturbing vehicle theft trend in the city.<\/p>\n

Police told NBC10 Philadelphia<\/a> that Hondas are the most targeted brand for theft so far in 2026 in Philadelphia. Of the more than 8,124 vehicles stolen in Philadelphia so far this year as of Tuesday, July 28, nearly one-quarter of these vehicles were Honda models.<\/p>\n

On Monday, July 27, NBC10 first reported<\/a> that several individuals in Philadelphia’s Fairmount neighborhood woke up and found wheels missing from their Honda vehicles. During the week of July 20, police discovered several dismantled Honda vehicles dumped in Philadelphia’s Fairhill neighborhood.<\/p>\n

When contacted by NBC10, the automaker issued the following statement about the vehicle thefts: “Vehicle theft is a complex issue affecting many automakers and is not unique to Honda. Our vehicles are equipped with state-of-the-art security features designed to deter theft and protect our customers.”<\/p>\n

Honda said that its HondaLink features, which are available depending on the vehicle’s model and year, include a stolen vehicle locator with immobilization and security alerts. These features are available with a three-month trial, followed by a $10 monthly or $110 yearly fee.<\/p>\n

Honda added that owners may also receive security alerts if their vehicle’s alarm is activated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A new report from the Philadelphia Police Department is shedding light on a disturbing vehicle theft trend in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":255608,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[69,71,70],"class_list":["post-255607","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-philadelphia","tag-philadelphia","tag-philadelphia-headlines","tag-philadelphia-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/255607","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=255607"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/255607\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/255608"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=255607"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=255607"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=255607"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
