Oldsmobile Cutlass?? now that one seems out of place.

haven't civics, accords and camries always been the top most stolen cars?

I think so. The most popular cars are usually the most stolen as it is easy to sell the parts.

about the only time a 91 camry OWNZ an si [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

<car thief #1> "dood lets snag this camry"
<car thief #2> "cool, oh wait, its a 92 camry! nevermind"
<car thief #1> "lets go egg some houses instead"

Yep the civic is a popular steal, and Phoenix is horrible with auto theft. I heard they were #1 I don't how its looking in 2002 though on the theft in Phoenix probably worse.
Not a fan of Phoenix, LOL [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/IMG]

Yeah usually the Camry and the Accord and all them make it to the top 10. I think the reason is that since so many of these cars are sold every year, they are just a lot of them on the street to steal.
As far as the Civic Si, I would say it's because so many of them are hooked up, that they attract thieves.

If you want to look at the % of cars stolen, rather than a raw # (of course the best selling cars will have a greater total # of thefts), look no further than the Type R. For a long period of time, there was at least one Type R owner on Honda-Tech.com that had his/her car stolen every week! Sheesh...

It's gotten to the point where just about every other Type R enthusiast you meet has a "... when I had my Type R stolen.." story. Pretty bad.

SERIOUSLY...

i know someone whose Type-R was stolen from his driveway...and like 3 other guys who had theirs stolen

another reason not to have a FAKE type r

01 and 02 civics arent as popular to jack, the parts arent swappable with the previous gens

That is way the insureance is do high on our rides.

these are unsuspicious cars that no matter what road you are on you will see at least one every minute. plus they are easy cars to replace parts and to "CHOP". then they seel them cause these cars have good resale value

wahoooooooooooo

I have a 1999 !!! :)

but then again i still have the b series engine mr thieve wants....[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/IMG]

This list is a little different form the one I saw. On the other one, the Tiburon was #1 (stolen). The other cars on this list was the Civic Si, Integra, VW, etc.. mostly compacts.

I didn't see a ford focus on that list [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

You also have to take into consideration that we have an ignition immobilizer and Accords have had them since '98. No more jamming a screwdriver into the ignition. In order to bypass the immobilizer you need a "high-tech" thief. Your average theif isn't gonna put that much effort into a stealing a car, there a just too many other cars to jack. They just find something else that is popular and easy to steal.

This is the ONE and ONLY reason to buy a Hyunday[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

Yeah I was hearing that before like 99 in the civics you could steal one with a butter knife? That was one of the rumors that were going around my school anyone else hear that? But yeah I feel a little better knowing that Honda has put a little more preventive anti-theft into the civic since it is a popular car to steal. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]

reason why the camry and accord are so popular, there's a lot of them running around and a lot of master keys for those cars around.

The Taurus remains among the most purchased cars, like the Accord and Camry. It seems that these three are always vying for the top sales spot! This is probably why they accompany the Accord & Camry on the most stolen lists.

Lots of Accords, Camry's, & Tauruses sold, lots of Accord, Camry, & Taurus parts needed.

Same with the Civic.

I'm surprised that the Echo wasn't on there. I swear if i wanted to jack that car
all i need to do is tip it and it'll fall over it's that skinny!

Well I think we'll be safe for a year or two.

Those cars are stolen because there is need for the parts. I don't know the numbers, but I'm sure that 2k1s and 2k2 civics sales are not even close to the number of older civics out there , therefore they won't be jacking us for some time.

As to the ignition security and the need for high-tech thiefs to steal our cars I think it's crap. There will be thiefs everywhere, and once every car has that security thiefs are not going to say "Awww f*Ck it, let's go rob a 7-eleven". They are simply going to go High-Tech. Sh1t, someday they might go jack our cars with palm pilots in their hands....

Sales of the 2k1 and 2k2 Civics have been quite brisk in the past couple of years. Just wait a few years, and I hate to say it but our cars might start to appear on the annual Most Stolen list.
