The Top 10 Most Stolen Vehicles in Colorado: Is Your Car a Target for Thieves?

14,859 is a large number, especially when it is how many vehicles were reported stolen in Colorado last year. The Colorado Auto Theft Intelligence Coordination Center said this was almost a 30% increase in motor vehicle thefts from 2014.

Although there seems no rhyme or reason for someone stealing a car, these are the top 10 vehicles prone to auto theft in the state of Colorado.

• 1997 Honda Civic
• 1997 Honda Accord

No matter what vehicle you drive, you should be careful. There's a newly formed coalition, Coloradans Against Auto Theft (CAAT), that is working on educating the public on what they can do to prevent their chances of becoming a victim of a stolen car.
4 tips on preventing auto theft:

• Don't leave your car running, unattended. This includes warming it up in the winter.
• Always lock your car, even inside your garage or somewhere that seems harmless.
• Park in well-lit areas
• Don't leave your spare keys in the car.
