A new report has revealed a worrying trend in car thefts across Kenya, with vehicles bearing registration plates starting with 'KD' emerging as the most targeted.

Worse still, if your car is a Toyota, the risk of theft increases significantly.

The Association of Kenya Insurers (AKI) report shows that half of all vehicles stolen in 2024 had plates beginning with 'KD'.

A total of 327 vehicles were reported stolen, a drop from 419 in 2023. "Vehicles with registration numbers beginning with 'KD' were the most stolen (50.15 per cent), followed by 'KC' (35.17 per cent), 'KB' (10.40 per cent), and 'KA' (1.83 per cent)," states the report.
