The Toyota Camry not only was the top-selling car in the United States last year -- it was also the top pick for car thieves, according to a survey released on March 20. For the fourth straight year, imported cars topped the charts of the most stolen vehicles in the U.S., according to a stolen vehicle claims analysis by Chicago-based CCC Information Services Inc., a supplier of software and communications systems to the automotive claims industry. Twenty of the 25 most stolen vehicles in the United States were imports - specifically Toyota Camrys, Honda Accords, Honda Civics and Acura Legends, according to CCC. Car thieves prefer imports -- and older models -- precisely because they are so popular, and their parts are in demand for repairs. Toyota Motor Corp.'s Camry has been the top-selling car in the United States for the last four years, preceded by Honda Motor Co. Ltd.'s Accord for two years. The 1988-1991 model year Camry took the top four spots on the most-stolen list. Honda's 1994, 1996, 1990 and 1995 Accords placed fifth, sixth, eighth and tenth, respectively. Overall, five Camry models and 12 Accords placed among the top 25 in Chicago-based CCC's yearly list. Last year's list had 19 Camrys and Accords. The top American vehicle on the top 25 list was General Motors' 1994 Chevrolet C1500 4x2 full-size pickup truck, up four spots from last year at number seven. Other American cars and trucks on the top 25 list were Ford's 1997 F150 4x2 full-size pickup truck at number nine, with the 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4x4 sport utility vehicle and the 1995 Dodge Neon compact car also making the list. In last year's listing, the F-150 model placed fifth as the only vehicle in the top 10 -- foreign or domestic -- that wasn't a Camry or Accord. Import car owners in middle America can rest a little easier. Domestic makes from General Motors, Ford and Chrysler dominated the top 25 chart in Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Texas and other states in the middle of the country, according to the report.
