Toyotas and Hondas dominated the list of most-stolen cars in 2002, according to a report from CCC Information Services. While overall theft losses declined 3%, that's still a total of $8 billion.
Of the top 25 most-stolen cars, 20 are Toyotas or Hondas. The Honda Accord is the single-most-stolen model, according to CCC, which analyzes losses submitted by property and casualty insurers. The most-stolen brand? Chevrolet.
Among the trends CCC reported:
Minivans and sport-utilities continue to gain the attention of thieves, with 2002 showing a 10% increase in thefts since 2000.
Thefts of full-sized models and muscle cars like the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro continue to slide, reflecting their fall-off in popularity with consumers.
All of the domestic brands on the top 25 list are pickup trucks.
