Dunno about other countries, but in Poland they steal either total shitboxes (below 2000 PLN - around $500 AFAIR in value) or luxury cars. My friend's parents had their week-old SUV stolen from them. Then they bought another one from insurance money and it was stolen as well. Of course, no traces of the thieves...
I had a recent opportunity to overnight in Warsaw and decided against it on account of many stories like this one. Having a vehicle stolen when you're near your home is bad enough, but whilst on a trip it is on another level entirely.
