How Hot is Your Car?

Fewer cars were stolen in 2005 than in 2004 — 2,625 fewer — but that statistic won’t provide solace to the other 1,235,226 U.S. car owners who were robbed last year. How likely is your car to account for one of these numbers next year? The National Insurance Crime Bureau just released its top 10 list of most-stolen cars, which you can read below. Car thefts rose in the Midwest and the West, while they decreased in the Northeast and South. Surprisingly, only 62.1% of the stolen vehicles were recovered.
