According to Caradisiac, 2,500 vans were stolen in France in 2025, with Fiat Ducato, Peugeot Boxer and Citroën Jumper being the most frequent targets. These models are vulnerable due to accessible rear doors and storage compartments, as well as easily breakable plexiglass windows. In Centre-Val de Loire, gendarmes dismantled a network suspected of stealing 151 vehicles, and near Montélimar, several motorhomes were burglarized in one night.
