1994 Honda Accord Biggest Steal

Ever wonder why the 1994 Honda Accord tops the list of most-stolen vehicles? Police in Washington state don't: They know it's because those cars are pretty easy to steal. Car thieves only need a ground-down Honda key to help gain access to most other Honda cars. In Kitsap County, Wash., 50 Honda vehicles have been stolen since June, and a dozen since Oct. 25. "Every time we have a new stolen (car), I ask if it's a '90s model Honda," Port Orchard police commander Geoffrey Marti told the Kitsap Sun. Twenty Hondas have been stolen from Port Orchard this year. The 1994 Honda Accord was the No. 1. stolen car on the National Crime Insurance Bureau stolen cars list released in August, and topped the LoJack stolen vehicles survey released in April/AOL.com via KHQ.
