According to a recent insurance company survey, the highest
claims/insured vehicle were as follows:
1. Chevrolet Corvette (to be expected...)
2. Volkswagen Rabit Convertible
3. Mercedes-Benz 300SD
And then:
BMW 320i/528i/528e
Cadillac Elldorado/Sevile/Brougham
Datsun 280ZX
Saab 900

According to the report, The M-B had the highest avg. $/claim.
The high claims of the Rabbit Convertible were attributed to the
snap-mount DIN chassis radios, which are considerably easier to
steal...  Note the conspicuous absence of Porsches, other M-Bs and
exoticars.
