A 2006 silver Toyota Landcuiser was taken from a nearby home.
Det-Sgt Vojkovich said it was now being investigated if stealing the cars was linked to multiple thefts from vehicles parked on Davies Road Claremont later that night.
Valuables were taken from three cars in a carpark at the southern end of the road and from seven others at a property about 100m north of the first site.
Det-Sgt Vojkovich said windows of all the vehicles were smashed to take small valuables including sunglasses, coins and wallets.
“Some were damaged with nothing taken at all,” he said.
The Honda was found abandoned on Stirling Highway in Claremont that night.
The Toyota and Subaru had not been recovered late last week.
