These are the top 10 most stolen cars in the US, so does yours make the list? 

These are the top 10 most stolen cars across the US.

With almost one million vehicles stolen in 2021 alone, pick-up trucks accounted for 14 percent of them.

Chevrolet and Ford trucks took first and second place on the list, followed closely by the Honda Civic and Honda Accord.

California was also found to be home to the highest number of thefts right across the country.

National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) President David Glawe said used car values were at a historical high.

“Crime is a business, and business is good,” he said.

He said passenger vehicle thefts increased by eight percent in 2021 compared to 2020.

NICB also recorded the top 10 most stolen cars in each state.

So, let’s dive in.

California 

Crime is surging in California and car theft is one of the most common criminal offences.

In fact, California recorded the highest number of car thefts in the nation.

Thieves seem to especially love pick-up trucks and Hondas, targeting them more than any other car.

So, don’t leave your car unlocked in Cali, especially if it’s a Honda or truck.

New York

New Yorkers will be happy to learn that their beloved city has shockingly low theft numbers when compared to California.

Mind you, that’s likely due to the fact that it’s nigh on impossible to drive in New York, especially in NYC.

In a surprise to absolutely no one, the 2022 Global Parking Index just named New York City the most expensive place to park.

That would be especially true if you paid premium for parking and then returned to find your car stolen.

And like in California, New Yorkers with basically any Honda model need to be extra cautious.

What is it about Hondas that are so appealing to thieves?

Vermont

Vermont had one of the lowest rates of vehicle theft in the country last year.

Probably because it is the second least populated state in the U.S.

The Subaru Forester shared first place on the list with the pick-up trucks from the Ford F-Series, with just 16 of each being stolen that year.

The number of thefts is shockingly low compared to California and virtually any other state in the nation.

Texas

It’s hard to miss the fact that this list is ripe with pick-up trucks.

More so than any other state.

But you also can’t miss the inevitabile Honda vehicles.

There are two on the list, the Honda Accord and Honda Civic.

Illinois 

So, how should you protect your car against theft?

The NICB recommends the following steps:

• Roll up your windows, lock your doors and take the keys or fob with you
• Park in well-lit areas or places staffed by security
• Remove any valuables from your car or keep them out-of-site in your truck
• Add a tracking device to your car
