Most stolen cars of 2002.

Honda and Toyota econoboxes own the list for the millionth time. Details.

#3. Honda Civic
"Though we cannot determine with absolute certainty the reason for vehicle theft, trends show that cars are often stolen for the value of their parts," says Mary Jo Prigge, CCC's president of sales and service.

It's a good guess in this case. According to McGoey, thieves can pocket $30,000 in parts from stripping a $20,000 car. And Honda tends to manufacturer interchangeable parts for all its model years, which raises the black market profit on these individual gadgets and gewgaws. Finally, chimes in the Palm Beach County Auto Theft Task Force, these parts move quickly.
Fortunately, I'm glad that the only interchangable thing on a 7th gen to a 6th gen is it's oh-so cheap shift ****. (Well, somethin like that.)

Bleh, our time will come though... they still like older cars and new SUVs.

lots of cars gettin stolen lately...
friend got his hatch stolen in mall parkin lot during broad daylight
other friend got his mustang 5.0 stolen infront of other mall just cuz of his cobra R rims
other friend got his integra stolen infront of our job in broad daylight too. 3 o clock in the afternoon on a busy street

it doesnt take much to steal cars... u would be surpised how easy it is even w/ an alarm. and just like they say "gone in 60 sec"

but since its a honda, its only 30 secs since its half easier to get in and drive off LOL
