I live in the Toronto area where car theft (and recently car jacking) has unfortunately become an everyday fact of life. With all-electric cars being less targeted than gas engine cars, are hybrids also less interesting to car thieves?

It looks that way this side of the border.

Apparently Prius catalytic converters are a frequent target of theft, though I would imagine anything with lots of ground clearance would be much easier to quickly steal.
