As vehicle thefts have climbed, classic cars have increasingly become targets, with the most desirable models especially at risk. That trend may help explain why a Jaguar XKSS Steve McQueen Tribute was reportedly stolen in the Austin, Texas area around early December 2024. The theft of such a special car alarmed enthusiasts.
Fortunately, the distinctive Jaguar was eventually recovered, sparing it the grim fate that befalls many stolen collector vehicles. Recoveries like this offer some reassurance that rare and cherished cars can sometimes be returned to their owners. The episode also serves as a reminder for collectors to take extra precautions in protecting their valuable machines.
