Surprised about the Saturns and would have expected to see the Toyota Camry and the Honda Accord too.

The Integra doesn't surprise me at all though.

ACtually i think this list is misleading. I believe from what they said this morning on the news is that it is based on percentages. So i still think the accord/camry are the MOST stolen. These just have the highest percentage of thefts. Not really sure which list is more useful

you are correct 95gt

"CCC changed the way it calculated its 2003 list, combining stolen-vehicle data with vehicle registrations from R.L. Polk & Co. to determine the rate of theft as a percentage of registered models.
In the past, it has reported only the brand and model year of those vehicles pilfered the most in a calendar year. As such, the Toyota Camry & Honda Accord, two of the best-selling vehicles in North America, fell from the top of the list to the middle of the top 25."

when i was a kid, maybe 15 or so. i was in some ghetto area at nite. some thug came up to me and my friend and asked us for drugs. obv, we were like no. and then this guy goes,

"hey, u see this screwdriver, this thing is perfect for stealing saturns. check this out."

then he goes over to this saturn in the lot. i saw him slam the screwdriver in, turn on the car, and then he drove it around the lot and put it back in its spot. the car was prob around a 95 or so. and this guy was maybe 17 tops at the time, BTW. i was too foolish to call the cops on him, i basically said cool and walked away...

point of story....maybe saturns r just very easy to steal....

I saw this article in the newspaper today, and yes, the Accord & Camry are on the list, they are just in the top 20, and not top 10.

pimpscls,

No offense intended ... but the answer to your question was a few posts above by JamzCL:


you are correct 95gt

"CCC changed the way it calculated its 2003 list, combining stolen-vehicle data with vehicle registrations from R.L. Polk & Co. to determine the rate of theft as a percentage of registered models.
In the past, it has reported only the brand and model year of those vehicles pilfered the most in a calendar year. As such, the Toyota Camry & Honda Accord, two of the best-selling vehicles in North America, fell from the top of the list to the middle of the top 25."

i broke into my neighbors Integra last week, the guy locked his cell phone and keys inside of it. 60 seconds with a coat hanger and i was in. With a little practice i could probably get inside in 20 seconds or less.

I think honda made a mistake with the up/down unlock levers on the door they are really easy to get in to click it pull it up.
