Grand theft auto


Recommended Posts

word of mouth isn't wrong. nation numbers don't reflect how 2-3 cars were being stolen A WEEK last spring! the wrx is a very hot car in NJ for theft. if you bring a WRX anywhere within 10 miles of newark, you're taking a risk. They've even took cars off of dealer lots all the way up in ramsey on route 17. however there hasn't been any reports of a stolen 05 Sti (chipped keys) one incident was when the car was recovered a few blocks away b/c they couldn't get it started.

 

 

125 hits in the last year for stolen imprezas at nasioc. and that's only club members.

word of mouth is wrong. Subaru isn't even in the top 25 for 2004. 2005 numbers are of course not out yet. I'd say acura integra's pretty much have a lock on most stolen.

 

Imprezas are the most stolen subaru though.

 

 

CCCIS 2004 list

 

1. 1999 Acura Integra

2. 2002 BMW M Roadster......

10. 1992 Mercedes-Benz 600..............

22. 1994 Audi Cabriolet

23. 2001 BMW M Roadster

 

 

I've seen the above list before and it makes no sense whatsoever. How could any year BMW M Roadster or Audi Cabriolet be in the list when there simply was never enough of the cars made to come even close? I bet more Integras are stolen in one month in NJ than Audi Cabriolets were ever sold here.

I sold my S4 because of the NJ Thefts.

 

My cousin had a S4 theft recovery at his shop man that thing sounded horrible they must have redlined the hell out of it. Had a nasty valve tick on it was a nice car too.

Livingston should be fine it's West Orange you have to worry about over in that area. Elizabeth is the worst though my car got broken into 3 spots from the front of the Shoprite I worked at. They stole my radio, amp and speakers and I had a alarm and when I came out for lunch I was pissed. My door was wide open and my stuff was gone. They proably would've taken the car too but I had ignition kill on the alarm. I shortly quit after that and worked closer to home.

Ok, did some more research, CCCIS numbers are crap, it's based on claims against insurance, and form things like the M roadster, it's got to be based on dollar value per claim, or stolen vs. indured. Basically, it's the list to look at when shopping for a car to guess at bad premiums. NICB is based on police reports. I'm guessing the M roadster claims are pricey, or maybe M roadster owners are just comitting fraud.

 

Impreza theft rates are high, but nowhere near the likes of the Integra. Legacy rates are substantially less than the impreza's rate, or the rate of a mitsu eclipse.

 

I just use the lists in my parking strategy. Don't leave your car overnight in deserted or strange places without disabling it. don't leave crap in your car. park near something that is high on the stolen list for what must be parts rather than fun, and park near something that looks a lot more fun to joyride.

Not the best idea....my brothers 98 impreza rs....car attracted so much attention..(i'll post some pics sometime)....when it got broken into...so did the minivan next to it and the escort on the other side of it
