The top 10 car models stolen:

Intresting facts is that the cars most stolen are also among the highest selling as far as numbers of units.

So if you live in Phoenix and drive a Camry, one could safely say that you'd be taking to bus to work some time soon?

Chevy Camaro? Cheryl, have you got a mullet?
I'm not surprised at all that the most popular cars to steal are also the most popular ones sold. It creates more demand for those cars, not to mention parts - and that's most likely what they are stolen for.
Why would you steal something like a Pinto - except for Ebay you'd never make quick cash.

Since my car is #1 on the list, I guess I'll have to avoid those cities! Next time I steal a car, it won't be a Camry!
