Thieves Make Hondas The Hottest Wheels

The 2011 Hot List of most-stolen vehicles is out, and Honda has landed in the top 2 spots.

 

The new report by the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) ranks vehicles according to theft data provided by law enforcement to the National Crime Information Center (NCIC), regardless of insurance status.

 

The top 10 most-stolen vehicles in the nation in 2011 are:

1. 1994 Honda Accord

2. 1998 Honda Civic
3. 2006 Ford Pickup (full-size)
4. 1991 Toyota Camry
5. 2000 Dodge Caravan
6. 1994 Acura Integra
7. 1999 Chevrolet Pickup (full-size)
8. 2004 Dodge Pickup (full-size)
9. 2002 Ford Explorer
10. 1994 Nissan Sentra

In 2011, vehicle theft rates continued their decline and actually were the lowest since 1967. On the flip side, theft rates for late model vehicles, which typically have been harder to steal due to more sophisticated key code technology, are on the rise.

Here in Virginia, Honda also tops the 2011 list, which includes:

1. 1994 Honda Accord
2. 2005 Ford Pickup (full-size)
3. 2000 Honda Civic
4. 2011 Toyota Camry
5. 2000 Dodge Caravan
5. (tie) 2010 Toyota Corolla
6. 2002 Ford Explorer
7. 1995 Chevrolet Pickup (full-size)
8. 2006 Nissan Altima
9. 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee
