Default most stolen car for 01-03 models

http://autos.msn.com/advice/article....c=msn&GT1=5472
The HLDI lists the five most-stolen vehicles for the 2001-2003 model years as follows:

Cadillac Escalade EXT
Nissan Maxima
Cadillac Escalade
Dodge Stratus/Chrysler Sebring
Dodge Intrepid


The CCC reports the ten most-stolen vehicles for 2003 are as follows:


1995 Saturn SL
1998 Acura Integra
1994 Saturn SL
1999 Acura Integra
1995 Acura Integra
1997 Acura Integra
1996 Acura Integra
1994 Acura Integra
2002 Mitsubishi Montero
2000 Honda Civic
The study is based on total loss claims received from more than 350 property and casualty insurers in North America and compares the number of vehicles stolen and not recovered against vehicle registration volume information provided by R.L. Polk & Co., to determine the rate of theft.


Here is the NICB top ten list—the number in parentheses is the model year most stolen:


Toyota Camry (1989)
Honda Accord (1994)
Honda Civic (2000)
Chevrolet Full-Size Pickup (1992)
Ford F-Series Pickup (1997)
Jeep Cherokee/Grand Cherokee (1993)
Oldsmobile Cutlass (1986)
Dodge Caravan (1994)
Ford Taurus (1996)
Toyota Corolla (2001)
This study is based on some 1.2 million motor vehicles reported stolen to the NICB in 2002 by law enforcement agencies nationwide.

Another thing that Florida is crawling with, which must be a coincidence... OLD PEOPLE. I swear, there are so many old people and all they ever drive are 1- buick century 2- toyota corrolla. The official whips of the elderly.

That's one main reason why I got rid of my 94' integra. People tried to break in my teggy twice!! Plus, I always wanted a sc400 and the sc400 looks way, way better than the integra.

Don't expect to see Lexus on the theft list anytime, as their security modules in their vehicle lineup are top-notch and stand out from the majority of the auto industry.

people trying to break in is one thing. you are "helping" to pay a much higher insurance rate even with the car untouched is another... either way it doesn't make sense
