Doesn't surprise considering that most of the people that do these polls don't even know of the R's existance. Either that or they do know, but clasify it is a standard integra.

This list is not based on the %stolen with respect to total production numbers. That's the reason the TypeR won't show up on that list.

I think that may have to do with the amount of Type Rs compared to the number of Civics and the other cars on the road. True a lot of ITRs are stolen, but there are fewer to steel, so it just seems like a lot are stolen. I think I am talking in circles but you see my point on me

Bingo.
It seems that there are so many different lists of 'top stolen cars'...But statistics dont lie; however, the way they are collected can be misleading.

Well, does it make a difference if the Accord stolen is a LX/EX/or Coupe V6? If not, then Integra wounldn't be a big difference if it's a LS/GS/GSR/ITR. I mean, if looking at the big picture, ITR sure are the most desirable, but other models are the ones that made up the majority.

Integras are the number 1 stolen cars by percentage(you can thank the ITR for that):

July 2002: "There's also the inexplicable chart-topping Acura Integra, which had 20.6 per 1,000." "By comparison, Camrys are stolen at a rate of 1.83 per thousand, which is below average."

LMAO, I like the last line:

"Tom: Of course, the chances of your Lamborghini getting stolen just got higher, now that you've written to us and told us you have a one in your driveway ... and included your return address in the letter, Jon. "

Although I believe the guy used the Lambo ask an example instead of him actuallly owning one.
