According to the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB®), the most popular sedans -- the Toyota Camry, Honda Accord and Ford Taurus are particularly attractive targets for thieves, along with sport utility vehicles (SUVs), pickup trucks, and mini-vans.
The NICB®, using data reported by its member insurance companies, has compiled a list of the 10 vehicles most frequently reported stolen in 2002. That top 10 includes:
1. Toyota Camry
2. Honda Accord
3. Honda Civic

Theft is a funny thing, people think that theives target flashy cars, but usually they don't. How much is a brand new stock Cavalier worth? Well a theft ring pays a theif $250-$350 to boost it, they take it to a chop shop and sell the parts to body shops where they take that $15,000 car and end up making $70,000 in parts off it. Where you live will have an effect on the most frequently stolen vehicles, for example around here trucks are very popular so they get stolen lots. Also since Medicine Hat is smaller you will see a spike in certain cars when thieves figure them out. Here Neons got stolen lots a couple summers ago as some teenagers figured out how to hotwire them. Oh and Canada has the highest car theft rate in the English speaking world, the third highest break in rate, and the highest amount of vehicular vandalism. Here in "crime free" Medicine Hat a car is stolen every 39 hours.
