Is your car on the list?
The 25 vehicles thieves love most
advertisement Some are easier to steal, and some are easier to sell. Is your car at risk? Here are the most-stolen cars and trucks and the reasons they are targeted. By Bankrate.com Toyotas and Hondas dominated the list of most-stolen cars in 2002, according to a report from CCC Information Services. While overall theft losses declined 3%, that's still a total of $8 billion. Of the top 25 most-stolen cars, 20 are Toyotas or Hondas. The Honda Accord is the single-most-stolen model, according to CCC, which analyzes losses submitted by property and casualty insurers. The most-stolen brand? Chevrolet. Among the trends CCC reported: * Minivans and sport-utilities continue to gain the attention of thieves, with 2002 showing a 10% increase in thefts since 2000. * Thefts of full-sized models and muscle cars like the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro continue to slide, reflecting their fall-off in popularity with consumers. * All of the domestic brands on the top 25 list are pickup trucks. Most stolen vehicles in 2002 Rank Year Make Model 1 1989 Toyota Camry 2 1991 Toyota Camry 3 1990 Toyota Camry 4 2000 Honda Civic SI 5 1994 Honda Accord EX 6 1994 Chevrolet C1500 4X2 7 1995 Honda Accord EX 8 1988 Toyota CAMRY 9 1994 Honda Accord LX 10 1996 Honda Accord LX 11 1997 Ford F150 4X2 12 1996 Honda Accord EX 13 2001 Ford F150 4X2 14 1995 Honda Civic EX 15 1991 Honda Accord LX 16 1999 Honda Civic SI 17 1990 Honda Accord EX 18 1995 Honda Accord LX 19 1992 Honda Accord LX 20 1995 Acura Integra GS-R 21 1997 Honda Accord LX 22 1997 Chevrolet C1500 4X2 23 1995 Honda Civic DX 24 1992 Honda Accord EX 25 1987 Toyota Camry Are foreign carrs that easy to break in to?

Why oh why will someone not take it?

Any car is easy to steal, and i mean any.
I worked for a towing business for about 5 years, the tools and books you can get legally from that is just amazing. Step by step instructions on how to get into the latest vehicles. bypassing ignitions is just another thing you can learn from dealerships and garages.

I caught some mexican guy trying to switch an old battery for my new one a good while back. Chased him off and kept his battery, hahaha.

They tried to steal my car last month (1993 Acura Integra), but the idiots couldn't get it started for some reason.
(edit) When I went to get the radio replaced, they told me that the older Integras are stolen because they're popular with people who like to modify a cool looking car. Y'know the sort: LARGE speakers, bouncing the car, etc.. I was surprised since I look at my 10 year old car as more of a nice beater. I guess that's kinda the point.

HA, I feel sorry for the bastard that takes my 79 ltd. With a full hydro set up that thing rides like a wooden pickel wagon with square wheels. But I did just make it easier since I just cut the roof off.

My Neon isn't on the list. But my last car, a '93 Ford escort was broken into twice, but they didn't take it. That car wasn't worth anything.

Proves only one thing, thieves have NO taste...
God, all the cars 20,000$ and less... What the fuck is the point. I'll get worried when they get educated enough to learn the value of money ![]()

Nobody wants my '73 Mercedes 240 D.
I just leave the key in the ignition. It also requires a warming of the glow plugs and a pull on the choke before it will even think of starting. It looks like an exploded diagram of a car that one might use to show all the working internal parts. It does 0-60 mph in roughly 55 seconds on a road with no incline. I'm not sure why I would think anyone could derive any interest from this post. /boring blah blah blah |

I would like to see numbers attached to that top 25 list, like how many of the #1 car were stolen, and so on.
