While white may be the new silver when it comes to car colours, drivers have been warned that not only to car thefts peak on a Monday but white cars are more likely to be stolen than vehicles of any other colour.
White cars could be more at risk because white is non-metallic and is easier to disguise through re-spraying,
Are you sure it is not white vans or is that wishful thinking on my behalf? The analysis of data from the police national computer also reveals that black is fast becoming popular with these cars now the third most likely to be stolen.
Prior to black, silver was the most popular new car colour. However, silver cars are now the third least likely car colour to be stolen. White cars could be more at risk because white is non-metallic and is easier to disguise through re-spraying, suggests the RAC
Foundation and Retainagroup, which carried out the research.
The analysis also revealed that, with car theft peaking on Mondays, motorists could relax a little over the weekend, as the risk of having their car stolen is one-third less on a Sunday than a Monday.
However, there is some dispute over whether the Monday peak is simply down to the fact that many motorists do not discover their car has been stolen until they get up for work - and that their car may have been stolen over the weekend.
