Default Most stolen car in the u.s.?

My friends tell me its the camry and cherokee. But i think ive read somewhere recently that its the integra, which would make more sense imo.
Anyone have a list of the most stolen cars by chance? Thanks.

(too lazy to click on SoCal's links )

Most stolen overall is Camry or Accord.

Most stolen per "capita" is the Integra. Key quote in one of those articles = "Frequency rates are based on claims per 1,000 insured vehicles. "

Most stolen overall = most reported stolen, period, end of story.

Most stolen according to "ratio" = most reported stolen / registered vehicles of that model.

Suppose 10,000 Camrys were stolen last year. That's a lot, but you have to remember that Toyota made a million or so.

Now suppose that 2,200 Integras were stolen last year. Not so many, compared to the Camry, but they only made 10,000 Integras.

Which are you more worried about? Your "one of a million" Camry or your "future victim" Integra?

:disclaimer: All numbers above were pulled out of my ***, just to explain to Rob what the difference in reported theft rates was.


Pat, who will sleep well tonight
