I never did like statistics that were weighted against production numbers. I'll bet based on total thefts, hardly any from this list would show up. I mean, come on. You know this list is screwed up when a 2001 M-Roadster is the most stolen car. When was the last time you even saw one of these things? The info does have some merit, though. Park your Teg in the garage!

Bingo I don't recall the exact production numbers off-hand, but it was something in the mid 400s for 2001. Therefore, doing the math, 3 stolen M Roadys = Top 3.

Compare that to the production figures of any model year Integra, and you can see that the data is skewed very badly. I'm glad the insurance companies do not pay very much attention to these figures, and go with their own internal data most of the time.

Integras are popular because jits steal them and sell the parts to kids on tr so they can bolt them on their civics.

I guess so, why don't you explain your humor. I think I kind of got it, but it really wasn't too witty or funny.
