America’s Most Stolen Cars

Car thefts are on the decline, reports The National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) in its annual review of trends in car heists. While vehicle thefts have not been this low since 1967, there is a disturbing new trend: Stolen key codes. Leading the list of the most stolen vehicles of last year is the 1994 Honda Accord: America's Most Stolen Cars Rank Vehicle Make/Model Year 1 Honda Accord 1994 2 Honda Civic 1998 3 Ford Pickup (Full Size) 2006 4 Toyota Camry 1991 5 Dodge Caravan 2000 6 Acura Integra 1994 7 Chevrolet Pickup (Full Size) 1999 8 Dodge Pickup (Full Size) 2004 9 Ford Explorer 2002 10 Nissan Sentra 1994 While the list makes believe that older cars are easier pickings, thefts of late model vehicles are trending up, despite them being harder to steal due to sophisticated key code technology." Says NICB CEO Joe Wehrle: "Today's vehicle thieves are typically professional criminals who have figured out how to get the key code for a specific vehicle, have a replacement key made, and steal the vehicle within a matter of days. We are aware of nearly 300 thefts that took place in the first three months of this year in which we believe replacement keys using illegally obtained key codes were used to steal the vehicle.
