Sure the Honda Accord may be one of the best values out there for car buyers but it also was the on 29 states' top 10 lists for stolen vehicles as well. That information is based off of data collected on 1.2 million auto thefts reported in 2004 by law enforcement agencies nationwide, and aggregated by the National Crime Information Center.

(number of different states in parenthesis):

  1. Honda Accord (29)
  2. Ford Taurus (28)
  3. Toyota Camry (27)
  4. Ford F150 (27)
  5. Chevy Full Size Pickup (27)

Ford and Chevrolet had the not-so-proud honors of topping the list with 89 and 79 different models stolen respectively.

This news is really sad but at least the manufacturers know that their cars are one of the most effective in the market. Accord and Camry really sell like pancakes.
