There are three studies regarding the most stolen vehicles in the United States. These studies are conducted by the National Insurance Crime Bureau based on the FBI'sNational Crime Information Center, the Highway Loss Data Institute (HLDI) which is a part of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, and CCC Information Services.

The National Insurance Crime Bureau's top 10 stolen vehicles:

1. 1995 Honda Civic
2. 1989 Toyota Camry
3. 1991 Honda Accord
4. 1994 Dodge Caravan
5. 1994 Chevrolet Full Size C/K 1500 Pickup
6. 1997 Ford F150 Series
7. 2003 Dodge Ram Pickup
8. 1990 Acura Integra
9. 1988 Toyota Pickup
10. 1991 Nissan Sentra

Additionally, the National Insurance Crime Bureau identified Miami, Florida as the number one city in the United States for staged accidents and related insurance fraud schemes occur in every state in the nation.

Why are the lists different?
The following paragraphs are an excerpt from an article written on MSN explaining the difference between the studies and how the information to compile each list was obtained.

How the Studies Differ
The Highway Loss Data Institute's results are based on the number of insured vehicles. Information on theft losses published by the National Insurance Crime Bureau doesn't take into account how many of each vehicle are insured, so the most popular vehicles on the road tend to top these organizations' lists of most stolen vehicles. In contrast, HLDI and CCC Information Services identify vehicles with the worst theft losses by counting the number of claims by make and model relative to the number of each make and model insured or registered, indicating which vehicles are most likely to be targets.

Thieves Follow Market Trends
Thieves still prefer cars over SUVs or pickups—although large SUVs are becoming more common on the lists. In two separate studies, one from CCC and the other from the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB), at least seven of the ten most commonly stolen vehicles in the United States are cars, with the Acura Integra, Toyota Camry, Honda Civic and Honda Accord prominent on the lists. However, both studies show an increase in SUV theft. (MSN Autos)
