Why thieves love the '94 Honda Accord
The average age of vehicles on the list of most frequently stolen cars is 12 years.
The popular 1994 Honda Accord, followed closely by the '95 Civic and '91 Toyota Camry, tops the list of the most frequently stolen cars in the nation last year.
The ranking of the most popular targets of car thieves was compiled by the National Insurance Crime Bureau, a nonprofit organization dedicated to preventing insurance fraud and vehicle theft.
NICB spokesman Frank Scafidi says he wasn't surprised that the plucky '94 Accord topped the list.
"It's a good car," he said. "They sold a lot of them and they stay on the road for a long time. The people who own them tend to take care of them, so that creates a demand for parts. That's why the thieves like them so much -- it's easy to sell their parts."
