Taking a look at stolen cars and insurance rates

Roseville, Calif.- The National Insurance Crime (NICB) just released their list of top 10 stolen cars in America this past year. Vehicle thefts have been on the rise the past several years. See the chart below to see if your vehicle is on the list.

The high theft rate of the vehicles does not automatically translate to having the highest insurance rates. Next year’s insurance rate report will show if any of this year’s high theft vehicles move into the highest cost to insure list. The Highway Loss Data Institute (pdf), provides detailed information on vehicle theft losses and models.
