Noon: ‘91 Honda Accord Most Stolen

The most-stolen car in Washington state last year was the 1991 Honda Accord, according to the National Insurance Crime Bureau. The top 10 most-stolen list contains cars and pickups from the 1991 to 1997 model years. The NICB says in a news release that older cars and trucks are popular because their parts are easier to steal than newer models, which often have better-quality alarms and anti-theft systems. Spokane is a hotbed of car theft, according to the NICB, which says the city ranked fourth-highest in the nation for auto theft rates last year, up from No. 18 in 2009/Spokesman-Review. More here.
