Honda s2000 is the 10th Most Stolen Car in the US
Earlier this week, the list of the most stolen cars in 2007 was released. According to the study conducted by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the 2005-2007 Honda s2000 was the 10th most stolen car. No wonder my insurance bill is so high! The IIHS uses insurance claim data and the number of insured vehicles to calculate the top 10 list based on the number of vehicles stolen per 1000. The 2005-2007 s2000 had an average loss of 8.1 per 1000 insured vehicles, bringing it’s stolen rate close to 1%. The average loss claim was $13,624, likely a mix of total loss and recovered vehicles.
While the report only includes data for the 2005-2007 models, I imagine the likelihood of all s2000 models are pretty similar. The majority of the other vehicles on the top 10 list are SUVs and large trucks.
