w00t

The Civic is still tops in the major metro areas of Texas though. I don't care what the insurance companies say. Thieves still look at people's setups online, then follow them home and jack everything while they're asleep.

Stealing and engine and tranny out of a person's driveway? Now that's hardcore.

.... or the Boston and NYC metro areas or most of the state of NJ. Civics and Integras should be on that list for sure.

A fucking Stratus is stolen more than say a Honda of any kind. What the fuck is so special about those. My friend Brad has a 03 Stratus, we use for part runs. I hate that damn car, bad gas mileage, plan interior. What's so desirable?

 

[Battle Pope]

That's exactly it. They're plain. Bland. Common.

It's all about the parts. The cars on that list are popular with the general American public and they break down. Free "hot" parts are more appealing that purchasing the replacement parts new through a dealership. Old used parts are probably just as reliable as new oem parts for those cars too. lol.

I also have this feeling that those who own the types of cars on that list tend to be Bush supporters from the "red states".....

its also a quantiy deal here.

theres many more 15k cars than there are 30 to 40k cars on the roads.

That, or they use the forums as a shopping list so they can tail you for a while, then steal and strip your car overnight.

Thank God for that, the 2000 Civic was the overall 10th most stolen car for the past three years.
