The National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) has just reported the top 10 vehicles stolen in 2012 for PA. Is your car on the list?
- Honda Accord
- Honda Civic
- Ford Pickup (full size)
- Toyota Camry
- Dodge Caravan
- Chevrolet Impala
- Ford Taurus
- Ford Explorer
- Chevrolet Pickup (full size)
- Jeep Cherokee/Grand Cherokee
If you didn’t notice, pickups occupy 2 of the top 10 spots, this is because many pickup claims involve the theft of the equipment that is in the bed of the truck bed. Older cars typically are on the list because they are easier to steal and their parts are more valuable. Common sense tips:
- Always lock your doors
- Never leave your keys in the car
- Close all windows and sunroof when exiting your car
- Have an anti-theft system
- Park in well-lit areas
If your car was to ever get stolen having auto insurance is a must. Stolen vehicles are taken care of under your comprehensive coverage, among other things. Make sure you carry this important coverage for your vehicle.
