Default Do other cars get stolen as much

Every time I open a post on this site someone's car is stolen and its happening too often... I am about to move close to NOVA where most of the car thefts are reported... I am wondering if i should sell my hybrid while I can or keep it... Do other brand of cars get stolen as much too? Are thieves just as likely to steal a 240sx or 300zx as they are likely to steal a honda hybrid? I love cars and still want to be involved but I am thinking if nissans dont get stolen as much, this might be a good time to join the bandwagon... I love hondas a lot but this theft thing is getting ridiculous

I don't have an answer to your question but I just wanted to add that here in Montreal, Canada, the VR6-powered VWs are the hottest items. People here don't seem to steel the hybrids, but god damn the ITRs are the WORST! Check out the salvage sites for Located in Quebec and every second car is a stripped ITR, SI, SIR etc ... It's terrible. It's absolutely infuriating.

People will attempt to rob, plunder, and steal anything worth stealing. How hard someone will try depends on how much it's worth to someone else.

Hondas get stolen I would say the most out of any marque of cars since the resale for aftermarket/OEM parts is the greatest. A perfect example is http://www.thepartstrader.com. Look at the amount of Honda parts for sale compared to say rotary or nissans. Theives steal what is a thriving market place, Hondas happen to be just that.

seriously if you are moving to NOVA dude you've got three options,
1. get a garage and never keep the car outside
2. get a 50 cal and sit and wait
3. get a good alarm and pray for the best

lived there for almost 15 years now, i've been lucky(with a garage) but sooo many others haven't good luck
