Most Stolen Cars (2007)
 
Full article can be read here

1. Honda Civic (1995)
2. Honda Accord (1991)
3. Toyota Camry (1989)
4. Ford F-150 (1997)
5. Chevrolet C/K 1500 (1994)
6. Acura Integra (1994)
7. Dodge Ram Pickup (2004)
8. Nissan Sentra (1994)
9. Toyota Pickup (1988)
10. Toyota Corolla (2007)

To me, this list doesn't mean a whole lot. The top vehicles stolen on this list are also top-selling vehicles. Stands to reason since there are more Civics on the road than say...S2000s, they'll likewise have a higher theft number.

I'd be more interested in the rate of theft per vehicle sold.

I'm just surprised that there are so many of those old cars still on the road to make that list. I know Hondas and Toyotas last a long time, but between wrecks and just basic wear and tear, not too many cars make it 15-20 years.

What's so special about 95?

Maybe that is the peak of the Civic Riceboy era? :LOL:

i know you're joking but i think you actually hit the nail on the head. in the civic tuning world the obd1 civics are where it is at and they are simply too common and too easy to steal. i cant remember the last time i saw a 92-95 that was stock.

Those older cars are a lot easier to steal. I could start our old camry with a screw driver if I wanted to. I remember the key would used to fall out after we started up the car.

Older cars are easier to steal for chop shops. Newer cars have much better security systems.

I've seen that list before and they way it's calculated is by percentage of cars that are stolen, not by total numbers. So even if a model is pretty old and rare it can still make the list.
