RE: Most stolen cars for 2008
A little more information on how they come up with the numbers:
To generate a list of the most-stolen cars, the Insurance Institute for
Highway Safety annually reviews insurance-claim reports to determine
theft-frequency rates based on the number of claims filed for every 1,000
vehicles insured each year. The 2008 report only includes 2005, 2006 and
2007 model-year cars, light trucks and SUVs, with the exception of the
Cadillac Escalades (only the 2007 model is included because it was
redesigned for that model year) and the Dodge Charger (only the 2006
and 2007 models are included since it was not available in the 2005 model year).
Based on the claims filed, the IIHS also calculates the average loss paymentthe
amount paid to the consumer by the insurance companymade for each claim filed.

Ask yourself: If Chrysler builds so many cars that nobody wants, why are
three of its models in the top 10 most stolen list?
Anybody else notice an Asian marque or two that isn't in the list?
