The most stolen car in America isn't even American,
The most successful rapper is white,
The tallest basket ball player in the NBA is Chinese,
The Germans dont want to fight,
What's this world comming to?

[anubis2003]

I don't think that the tallest basketball player is chinese - I believe someone else is taller than Yao(sp??).

Note to self: Never buy a Camry. How on earth is the Civic SI up so high? This must be worldwide statistics - there aren't that many 2000 SI's in the US.

You know, I have an Invention, that dates back about...oh...15-16 years now that makes it literally impossible to tamper with the ignition.
There is only really 2 ways of taking a car. 1: 'Slide Hammer'. 2: 'Snapping the Ignition'.

My device makes both nigh on impossible. I have offered it for sale, only to be refused.

I wonder why sometimes? me reckons it's all part of the secret govt. conspiracy

[mepossy]

yeah your right, but maby thieves are targeting them and stole almost every one of them?

Maybe it's the percentage of the number produced that are stolen...i.e. say 200 cars are made and 100 of them are stolen then 50% of that make were stolen.

Maybe it's cause if the system's foolproof, less cars will be stolen. Less money is exchanging hands and less cars will be bought/replaced. It's all part of a bigger plan, a bigger truth... O.o

no good cars worth stealing are there. all sedans (bar a few), toyota must be a popular car to rip off

Your average thief looking for an escape vehicle isn't going to piss around waiting to steal a sports car is he. He wants something that no-one will notice fleeing from the crime scene... like a Toyota Camry.

[J. Burnaway]

It's because the Toyota Camry is the best selling car. Therefore there are a lot more around to be stolen. Also, there are a lot more damaged Camrys, so a lot more thieves grabbing them to part them out. A car sold in pieces is worth much much more than a whole car.

Your average car thief isn't looking for a get away car. They're looking for car parts. And the best place to get car parts is a car.

Well, these are all common cars, so the demand for replacement parts can get kind of high, and that's why people steal them (For stripping and selling of parts, that is).

Your logic is flawed. Imports are more popular, there are more of them, and so more of them are stolen.

"buahhaahhaa" your wrong.
