Is Your Car on the List of the 10 Most Stolen Vehicles?
The National Crime Information Center made lists of the 10 top most stolen vehicles by state based on a study of the vehicle thefts reported to the National Crime Information Center in 2010. Click here to see if your car is on the list.
Your car doesn’t have to be on the Hot Wheels list to be a target for theft. Do what you can to deter would-be thieves.
- This might seem like common sense, but lock your vehicle and close all windows every time you leave it. Even in your own driveway!
- Do not leave valuables visible to anyone who walks by the car. Visible items may attract a window smash and grab.
- If you are parking your vehicle overnight, choose to park in a well-lit, busy or familiar area.
- Report any theft to the police. If items have been stolen from your car, do not disturb the scene. Police may want to dust for fingerprints.
