A couple weeks back a report came out saying the most likely stolen vehicles in the country and I was wondering if anyone knew how the xB was listed?

 

not to make light of automobile theft but it would make a terrible getaway car.. :D

 

If that were the case, how come the #1 stolen car in the country is the Civic

^ Actually the number one car stolen in America is the Nissan Maxima (with the Altima right behind it) because of its lights, overall it was the third most stolen vehicle. The first and second most stolen vehicle's were the Escalade and the Escalade EXT. The bottom three were a couple Buick's and the lowest being the Saturn Wagon or something... forget, but those were the only ones I know of/were announced on the list (on tv).

 

I always thought it was the Camry and the Accords.

Ya, it was always those two, but then Nissan went all high tech, lol.

 

From the last report I've read, 4-months ago, the 1995 Saturn SLs was the most stolen.

There is a good report on this at msn.com under the autos link.

 

Who would steal a Civic??????

I would. Just so I could blow it up :twisted:

 

This is the report I just read as well. I always thought it was the Civic but I was wrong.
Kind of scary considering I have that 1995 Saturn. Although mine is the SC no SL.

I would steal a Civic. You can sell the parts easily since there are so many of them out there.

I used to work for an auto insurance company. The most common reason for theft is parts. I know here in CT I haven't seen to many Scions so I am not worried about theft. Also depending on how modded the vehicle is, especially with a system.

I like the way you think! :D

 

Where I work, the Honda Civics that are usually recovered are completely stripped. So what that means is, its was stolen as it usually had the usual list of mods.

 

lol

 

why would anyone want to steal SATURN!?!?

i mean civic is a sporty car or whatever ... btu saturn??? they are just little plastic toys LOL

 

 

Why people steal some particular models is beyond me - but the reason I'm driving an xB right now is because my 1998 Dodge Neon with 147,000 miles on it was stolen from the Vice Presidential Debate a month or so back...the officer I reported the theft to told me that Dodge Neons are one of the most stolen cars in the area...

 

My guess is that, in some cases, certain cars are easier to steal. Or maybe chop shops steal certain cars because of parts in demand. :?
I dunno, I'm not a thief.

But in your case, a neon w/147k on the clock, maybe somebody just wanted your parking spot REALLY bad.
