From carconnection.com: Civic Tops Stolen-Car List

The annual list of the nation's most-stolen cars is out, and the winner of the dubious distinction this year is the 1995 Honda Civic. Based on insurance information from 2004, compiled by the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB), the Civic tops the list because of its longevity on the road and its sales popularity. Five other Japanese vehicles ranked in the top ten, including the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord; the four domestics on the list are all trucks save for the '94 Dodge Caravan. The NICB says car thefts were down by 1.9 percent in 2004 from the year prior, although thefts in the western U.S. increased 3.2 percent during the year. In order, the ten most stolen vehicles are: 1) 1995 Honda Civic; 2) 1989 Toyota Camry; 3) 1991 Honda Accord; 4) 1994 Dodge Caravan; 5) 1994 Chevrolet C/K pickup; 6) 1997 Ford F-150; 7) 2003 Dodge Ram; 8) 1990 Acura Integra; 9) 1988 Toyota pickup; and 10) 1991 Nissan Sentra.

Those numbers don't really mean shit because it doesn't balance out what percentage of a given car is stolen. So yeah, the Civic, Accord, and Camry are 1, 2, and 3 but those cars sell over 1 million units a year.

It only makes sense that the most numerous cars on the road are also the most stolen. What I wanna know is what cars have the greatest likelihood of getting stolen based on how what percentage of those produced have been stolen. I'm sure the Integra Type-R would top the list.
