Do You Own One Of The Most Stolen Vehicles In The U.S.?

According to the annual “Hot Wheels” list compiled by the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) in Des Plaines, Ill., the full-size Ford F-150 is now the most-stolen vehicle in the U.S.

Rural areas and wide-open spaces, like Alabama, Alaska, and Arkansas tend to have more pickup trucks stolen than in more urban-oriented states like California, Connecticut, and Delaware, where sedans like the Honda Accord and Civic top the list.

Older high-volume vehicles are taken most often because they’re worth more than the sum of their parts. They’re typically driven off, or even towed away to a “chop shop” where they’re dismantled into components that can be passed off to unscrupulous vendors and sold to repair shops and consumers, often via the Internet. .
