Most Stolen Cars

Do you leave your car doors unlocked? Do you think to yourself, "No would want to steal my car."? Either way, you better check out this list to see if you car is highly prized by thieves.

Topping the most stolen list is the Acura Integra. Officials say the car is popular among evil-doers for two reasons. First, the car's engine is quite powerful and can be fitted under the hood of other Honda cars. Second, the car is common among street racers. Once racers customize their cars for speed, others will do anything to get their hands on it. Speaking of which, how do you transfer the title for a stolen car?

Cars just outside the top 25 include:
26: Plymouth Horizon
27: Dodge Dart
28: Amphicar
29: Chevy El Camino (It's a car and a truck!)
30: Ford Pinto

In a related story, I was once questioned by police because they thought I was trying to steal cars. It's a long story, but suffice it to say that just because you are sneaking around a carport late at night with a screwdriver in your pocket does not necessarily mean that you are intent upon boosting cars.

You never know when you might need to tighten a screw during a late night game of hide and seek, right?
