Default Top 10 Stolen vehicles

I just picked this out of my local news paper "The Post and Courier". I gotta say that I am very surprisd that Civic didnt make the list.

Here goes:

1 95' Honda Accord

2 89' Chevrolet Caprice

3 97' Ford Explorer

4 97' Ford F150

5 88' Chevrolet Full Size C/K 1500

6 94' Jeep Grand Cherokee

7 99' Ford Taurus

8 94' Toyota Camry

9 86' Oldsmobile Cutlass

10 94' Ford Ranger

Any of you have any of the above, you better watch it!

Here is a cool fact that is in the artcile:

"Last year, 1,237,114 motor vehicles were reported stolen in the United States. Thats down from 23,000 from 2003. Overall theft rate is down by 2%"

im safe. the only reason people steal those cars is cause the owners leave them unlocked and running with the hope that someone will take it

yeah. right. safe. in an SI. your car has one of the most stolen engines around. right up there with the GSRs and Type Rs. dont let your guard down around your SI, or it will get stolen eventually. let alone all of the other neat little accessories the SIs come with that other EK drivers would LOVE to have. even with an alarm, dont let your guard down. trust me.[&o]

At least there isn't much demand for 17 year old Porsches.

Grey market Honda parts are worth incredible amounts of money, waaaaay more than any other brand. For example, a pair of clean stock 5G seats can go for up to $500 in places... so watch your s**t, because someone will definitely steal it if you don't. I kid you not.
