Phew. Thank goodness the two cars I own are the 1994 and the 2000 Acura Integra. I'm pretty sure I'm safe.

This is exactly why I sold my GSR. There was no way I could afford to just be without a car one morning b/c of some jackass thief.

BMW M roadster tops the list? I hardly ever see that car on the road, let alone topping any list that has to do with quantity.

Oh, thank God, Camry no longer makes the list. It used to be very popular (for parts and stuff).

Maybe you never see it on the road cause it's always stolen...

You're right though... you really don't see them around.

This list was compiled by using the highest percentage stolen for cars of a certain model as compared to the number registered, not by sheer volume.

If it was sheer volume, America's best sellers (Accord/Camry) would be on the list most definitely.

Ah, that answers my question. I was going to posit that the 94 and 00 years were numbers 11 and 12, but I see I was only half right.
