Texas’s Most Stolen Vehicles Revealed for November 2025
Dallas, TX – The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) has released the latest statistics concerning vehicle thefts for November 2025, shedding light on which models are most often targeted across the Lone Star State. The top ten stolen vehicles encompass a mix of pickup trucks and sedans, reflecting broader trends in auto theft in Texas.
The data highlights that pickup trucks continue to dominate the list, with four models—Chevrolet Silverado, GMC Sierra, Ford F-150, and Ford F-250—holding the top five positions. Furthermore, vehicles from Hyundai and Kia, specifically the Elantra, Sonata, and Optima, appear prominently in theft reports, suggesting certain vulnerabilities unique to these models. As local entrepreneurs and communities strive to enhance security measures, it’s clear that addressing these theft patterns will be crucial for maintaining both personal and economic stability.

- Chevrolet Silverado
- GMC Sierra
- Hyundai Elantra
- Ford F-150
- Hyundai Sonata
- Ford F-250
- Dodge Challenger
- Kia Optima
- Ram 1500

The prevalence of certain vehicle models being targeted can be attributed to a combination of high demand and ease of resale. Pickup trucks, while essential for many business owners and entrepreneurs in Texas, have proven to be particularly enticing for thieves due to their robust resale market. On the other hand, the noted Hyundai and Kia vulnerabilities raise questions about safety features and manufacturing practices, indicating an area for potential improvement.
Strengthening Preventive Measures
In response to these alarming theft statistics, law enforcement agencies across Texas are ramping up initiatives to combat vehicle theft. Community awareness is essential in this fight. Residents are encouraged to employ preventive strategies, such as parking in well-lit areas, securing their vehicles with steering wheel locks, and opting for vehicle tracking systems. Such measures not only safeguard personal property but can deter potential criminal activity, fostering a safer environment for local entrepreneurs and residents alike.
Social Security Payment Schedule
In addition to tackling vehicle theft issues, it’s crucial for residents to stay informed about financial matters that directly affect them, such as the Social Security payment schedule for November 2025. The Social Security Administration (SSA) has outlined specific payment dates as follows:
- November 3, 2025: For individuals who began receiving Social Security benefits before May 1997, as well as those receiving both Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI).
- November 12, 2025: For beneficiaries with birthdays between the 1st and 10th of the month.
- November 19, 2025: For beneficiaries with birthdays between the 11th and 20th of the month.
- November 26, 2025: For beneficiaries with birthdays between the 21st and 31st of the month.
It’s noteworthy that if a scheduled payment date falls on a weekend or federal holiday, the SSA brings it forward to the closest working day. Thus, beneficiaries are urged to plan accordingly to ensure timely access to their funds.
Conclusion
The November 2025 vehicle theft report serves as a crucial reminder for Dallas residents regarding the importance of preventive measures to mitigate theft risks and safeguard their assets.
