According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, an automobile is stolen in the United States approximately every 26 seconds. One in 200 people will be a victim of automobile theft with higher odds in urban areas. Depending on the make and model of your car, the likelihood of having your car stolen can increase substantially.
(1) 1995 Honda Civic. Unfortunately, for owners of this automobile, it has the highest incidence of theft in the past decade.
(2) 1991 Honda Accord
(3) 1989 Toyota Camry
(4) 1997 Ford F-150- The 1997 Ford F-150 has the highest incidence of theft over every other pick-up truck combined.
(5) 1994 Chevrolet 1500
(6) 1994 Acura Integra
(7) 2004 Dodge Ram Pickup
(8) 1994 Nissan Sentra
(9) 1988 Toyota Pickup
(10) 2007 Toyota Corolla
The National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) has recognized that although auto theft is declining, the above makes and model are continuously on the “most stolen” lists throughout the years. The obvious trend of the list is a mixture of makes and years. The reason for the variety is attributed to the likelihood that these automobiles are the “easiest” to steal without after-market anti-theft devices, and that the automobiles listed are stolen for the sole purpose of parts.
To prevent your automobile from theft, it is suggested to make your car unattractive to thieves. Install anti-theft devices, lock your doors, tint your windows and always park in well-lit parking lots. Never leave your automobile running and do not make the amateur mistake of using a magnetic key-holder in the undercarriage. Thieves always look for spare keys.
