Does Your Car Attract Thieves?

According to the Insurance Information Institute, about one-third of a typical comprehensive auto insurance premium goes to pay for auto theft claims. According to the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB), older car models are hot commodities for car thieves because they can get good money for stolen vehicle parts. To find out if your car is in danger of being stolen, look at the following list of the 10 most frequently stolen cars in the United States.

According to the NICB’s annual report of the most frequently stolen cars in the United States, the most stolen vehicles in 2019—the most recent year data is available for—included the following: 

  1. Ford Pickup (Full Size) (38,938 stolen) 

  2.  Honda Civic (33,220 stolen)

  3.  Chevrolet Pickup (Full Size) (32,583 stolen)

  4.  Honda Accord (30,745 stolen)

  5.  Toyota Camry (15,656 stolen)

Preventing Vehicle Theft 

To put the brakes on vehicle theft, try the following prevention tips. 

  • Never leave your car running and unattended. 

  • Never leave your keys in the car or ignition, even inside a locked garage.  

  • Always roll up your windows and lock the car, even if it is in front of your home.  

  • Always park in a high-traffic, well-lit area, if possible.  

  • Consider anti-theft devices such as steering wheel locks or fuel cut-off switches. 

  • Have your vehicle identification number (VIN) etched into each piece of glass on the vehicle as a deterrent. 

  • Investigate the purchase of an auto alarm system if you live in a high-theft area or drive a theft-prone vehicle. Display an alarm decal near the door handle.  

  • If you use valet parking, leave just the ignition key with the attendant. 

  • Copy your license plate and VIN numbers on a card and keep them on you with your driver's license. If your vehicle is stolen, police will need this information promptly.
