Stolen Cars
If you thought your truck, minivan or sport utility vehicle (SUV) was safe from car theft, think again. These vehicles are the up-and-coming stars in the game of theft and yours could be next.
According to the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB), three out of the top 10 most commonly stolen vehicles in 1997 were either pickups or SUV's.
Additionally, two out of the top 25 were minivans.
Although car thefts declined by four (4%) percent in 1997, some vehicles are always more popular targets than others.
If you have a popular model, the NICB suggests precautionary measures including removing keys from the ignition, locking doors, closing windows, hiding valuable items and parking in well-lit areas.
Owners of the vehicles in the top 10 list (listed below) should consider using a combination of anti-theft devices such as steering wheel locks, alarms, starter, ignition and fuel disablers and tracking devices.
