Camry Favorite of Thieves

Toyota Camry was the most stolen vehicle model for the fifth straight year on an annual list that monitors such trends.

Overall, vehicle thefts fell 2.7% last year, according to Chicago-based CCC Information Services Inc., an insurance industry tracker.

Not surprisingly, the cars most often stolen were the perennial sales leaders. Of the 25 most-stolen cars on the list, 19 were Camrys and Honda Accords or Civics of different years. The year and model most stolen was the 1991 Camry.

“We don’t know for certain why a vehicle is stolen,” said the company’s president of sales and service Mary Jo Prigge.

CCC determines its list of most-stolen vehicles by analyzing total losses submitted to it by more than 350 property and casualty insurers in North America.
