- projectstartrek, on 07/09/2008, -1/+2It's probably a lot easier to find a Prius to steal though, right?
- CoMpUtErITGuY, on 07/09/2008, -0/+7Nope, I didn't see Saturn Vue or Dodge Caravan there.
- The2ndAct, on 07/09/2008, -0/+3Is it too much to ask for an easy to find link to the list itself?!
- ironeus, on 08/01/2008, -0/+2Here's the top 5 for you:
'95 Civic
'91 Honda Accord,
'89 Toyota Camry
'97 Ford F-150
'94 Chevrolet C/K 1500 Pickup
** This way we can still read Zaibatsu's article to read #s 6-10

- ironeus, on 08/01/2008, -0/+4How do they know that the decrease in auto theft results from the "fight against vehicle theft by law enforcement, the insurance industry and the NICB." As less older models are on the road, naturally newer models have improved security features with the exception of 2007 Corolla apparently.
- elenadragon, on 07/09/2008, -0/+2Crap, I have a Civic. I don't leave my keys in the car though, so according to the article I must be ahead of the game!
- middy, on 07/09/2008, -0/+2NCIB's site, there's a link to the list on this page; https://www.nicb.org/cps/rde/xchg/nicb/hs.xsl/inde ...
- McKoKslarge, on 07/09/2008, -0/+2i'm surpised the top 5 cars on the list are all older than 10 years.
- ileftfark, on 07/10/2008, -0/+1It'll probably remain that way for some time. The older Hondas and Toyotas are *everywhere*, and parts are easily available and still in demand, so that means you can either maintain your stolen car easily with parts from anywhere, or sell the parts just as easily. Also, cars from the late 80's to mid-90's generally don't have any anti-theft systems to be bothered with, and people seem to think "well, who would want my beater anyway?" and do stupid ***** like leave the keys in the car.
I've never stolen a car, but it just seems that these are the most likely causes. Also, my Integra's on that list.
