12 of them are in california!

The 20 worst cities for stolen cars tilt toward the West Coast, again | Motoramic - Yahoo! Autos

 

haha this is the truth!
Ive had a car stolen in Santa Clara @ Valley Fair Mall and San Diego literally off of my front lawn. (93 integra and 99 civic)
Sister had her car stolen in SF. (95 Accord)

 

Can we have instant death penalty for car thieves?

Wow look at the top 3:

2011 Ranking 2010 Ranking
1. Fresno, Calif. 1
2. Modesto, Calif. 2
3. Bakersfield-Delano, Calif.

I'm curious though... who knows of car thefts of car with immobilizer keys?

A professional thief can get it no doubt, but casual car thieves seem to be deterred by them.

 

Fresno,Modesto and Bakersfield don't surprise me. Those guys have nothin to do. Get high.steal. Wake up, do it again lol

 

Now take away all the 90's Hondas and Toyotas and see where it ranks...

 

Death penalty maybe not but I think a convicted car thief should have no rights if THEY get something stolen.....
File a police report......Sorry cant help you since you're a thief

 

There have been a lot of car thefts at the Watsonville Target shopping centre. Within the last month, two of my friends had their cars stolen.

 

Yakima made the top 5, lived there while going to tech school years ago. Had 22 murders there one of those years too, chrime per capita is worse than LA suposedly. I'll take cali over there.

Does wonders!

 

I bet at least 90% of these cars stolen are Hondas/Acuras. I've seen how they steal those cars (mine was stolen years ago). However, I don't think they're competent enough to steal anything other than these cars or those that's more involved and deal with immobilizer/tracking system/etc.; they wouldn't dare.

But on that note, police in Fresno, holy crap, like every one of 'em drives those new Chargers...yet I rarely see 'em here in the bay. But then again, Fresno police are ****s but that's a different subject.

 

Anyone notice the Subaru between 0:05 and 0:07?


Honestly, I think driving a non-turbo Subaru is somewhat a safe bet since Hondas and Toyotas are just more well-known (and because of that, easier to break in to). That, and the demand for non-turbo Subaru parts isn't really massive (at least that's what I think).

But at the same time, Subarus with frameless windows... might have a higher risk...

 

Bet a doughnut that this top 20 list is just a re-shuffle of the top 20 cities for meth use/production/arrests; probably not even much of a "shuffle"...

 

I work in American canyon, right above Vallejo, and whenever we drop sum1 off at a Vallejo hospital we are amazed at how many ****ty drivers there are out there. If your car gets stolen there good luck getting it back non-totaled.
