The Top 10 Most Stolen Cars

The Top 10 Most Stolen Cars

When it comes to car theft, all types of vehicles are at risk. All over the country, especially in Arizona, car theft is a serious problem that only seems to be getting worse. Even the ugliest, crummiest car is at risk of being stolen for parts. However, there are a few types of cars that get stolen and broken into more than other car models. Some of them may even surprise you! We put together a list of the top most stolen vehicles and included some tips on how to prevent car theft through mobile car locksmith services.

Honda Accord

The total amount of Honda Accord thefts in the United States in 2015 was at about 51,920. The most stolen model years of this car is 1996, 1997, and 1994. This could be because Honda Accords are such common cars and can be found everywhere in the country. In the state of Arizona, the Honda Accord is the most stolen car as well.

Honda Civic

The total amount of Honda Civic thefts in the United States in 2015 was at about 43,936. The most stolen model years of this car is 1998, 1997, and 2000. Like the Honda Accord, this car is likely stolen so often because of how common and popular it is. Older cars are a lot easier to break into, hotwire, and steal. This is likely why older models of cars are stolen instead of newer ones.

Ford F-Series Full Size Pickup

The total amount of Ford F-Series Full Size Pickup thefts in the United States in 2015 was approximately 28,680. The most stolen model years of this car is 2006, 2005, and 2004. There's not really a clear reason why this type of car is stolen so much, but it could have something to do with the value of parts.

Chevrolet Full Size Pickup

The total amount of Chevrolet Full Size Pickup thefts in the United States in 2015 was approximately 23,196. The most stolen model years of this car is 1999, 2003, and 2004. This car may be stolen so often because of how common it is, and also because it is a more useful car than a compact vehicle.

Toyota Camry

The total amount of Toyota Camry thefts in the United States in 2015 was approximately 14,605. The most stolen model year of this car is 1991. The 1991 Toyota Camry is likely stolen so often because it is an old car with a more vulnerable locking system that is easy to break into.

Dodge Ram Full Size Pickup

The total amount of Dodge Ram Full Size Pickup thefts in the United States in 2015 was around 11,075. The most stolen model years of this car is 2004, 2001, and 2005. Dodge Rams may be such common stolen cars because their parts are often pricey and repairs can be very expensive.

Dodge Caravan

The total amount of Dodge Caravan thefts in the United States in 2015 was around 10,483. The most stolen model years of this car is 2000, 2002, and 2003. Minivans are being stolen at a higher rate nowadays, even straight out of driveways. It may seem odd for a car thief to go after a soccer mom car, but minivans have the amenities that many cars don't. Televisions, DVD players, and navigation systems are popular bells and whistles for the minivan, and thieves are catching on to the value.

Nissan Altima

The total amount of Nissan Altima thefts in the United States in 2015 was around 9,109. The most stolen model year of this car is 2013. The Nissan Altima is a fairly common and all around decent car, making it a target for car thieves.

Acura Integra

The total amount of Acura Integra thefts in the United States in 2015 was around 6,902. The most stolen model years of this car is 1994 and 1995. The Acura Integra is a sharp, expensive-looking car that has a poor security system like many makes and models of cars in the nineties. This could be why it is a commonly stolen car.

Nissan Maxima

The total amount of Nissan Maxima thefts in the United States in 2015 was approximately 6,586. The most stolen model year of this car is 1996. The final car on our list may be stolen so often because of its common popularity and archaic nineties security system.
