The 10 Most Stolen Vehicles

The National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) recently released its annual list of the most frequently stolen cars in the U.S., and the 1994 Honda Accord topped the list for the fourth year in a row.

Though late-model sports and luxury cars tend to be swiped intact and sold with swapped identification numbers and laundered titles or sent to other countries, more-common models (like the Honda Accord, Honda Civic, and Toyota Camry – especially older examples that lack newer key-code anti-theft technology) are usually driven or towed away and immediately dismantled at so-called “chop shops.” While the recoverable value of any of these dated models tends to be comparatively minimal, they’re worth far more as an amalgam of salvaged used parts sold by unscrupulous vendors.

The NICB reviewed vehicle theft data submitted by law enforcement to the National Crime Information Center during 2011 to produce the following list of the 10 most-stolen vehicles during 2011:

1. 1994 Honda Accord midsize
2. 1998 Honda Civic compact
3. 2006 Ford F-150 pickup
4. 1991 Toyota Camry midsize
5. 2000 Dodge Caravan minvian
6. 1994 Acura Integra compact
7. 1999 Chevrolet Silverado pickup
8. 2004 Dodge Ram pickup
9. 2002 Ford Explorer SUV
10. 1994 Nissan Sentra compact
