Police have said 205 cars were hit by car stereo thefts in Cardiff over the weekend - four times the usual number.
Reports showed 95% of them were Ford models. The car firm believe this is in light of an "urban myth" that they can be used to decode digital TV boxes.
Police confirmed the rumour but officers have spoken to Ford and the digibox manufacturers who said there was no link.
Ford said that components cannot be used in this way.
A spokesman said it was "pure myth" sparked by an off-the-cuff comment from someone within the motor industry.
