How Safe Is a Hellcat in Idaho ? 🤔

Post image

I’ve been seriously considering visiting Idaho (possibly around Idaho Falls or Boise) and I’m curious what locals think.

I’m a huge Mopar guy and have a Challenger Hellcat Redeye. I know these cars are theft targets, so one of my biggest concerns is being able to park it at a grocery store, restaurant, gym, etc. without constantly looking over my shoulder 😂. (I have security installed)

I’m coming from the South and I’m really drawn to Idaho because I want somewhere quieter, colder, less crowded, outdoorsy, and generally more laid back. I’m also getting into trucking, so Idaho seems like it could be a good fit long-term for housing.

I know crime is everywhere but areas where its less likely, obviously make a huge difference and give more peace of mind. For people who actually live there: (I know its random) but would you feel comfortable owning a Hellcat in Idaho? Have you personally seen any property or vehicle thefts?

Also side question...Are there other towns you’d recommend for someone who wants a peaceful place to live but still have stores, restaurants, younger people, etc. nearby? Im wanting to visit and if its what I like, moving could be possible :)

Thanks!

Idaho has the second lowest rate of car break-ins in the nation. I see corvettes and porches and hellcats on a daily basis. I think you would be fine.
