Maybe it's not what you'd expect — after all: Dodge Caravans?
But there are two big reasons why these vehicles are stolen most
. One, they're everywhere, as NICB spokesman Frank Scafidi told Priceonomics. Indeed, according to Kelley Blue Book, Ford F-series pickups and Chevrolet Silverados were the No. 1 and No. 2-selling vehicles in the US this year, as of August.
Second, those vehicles are stolen not to drive but to sell for parts, Scafidi said — lots of people own Honda Accords, which means lots of people at some point need parts for Honda Accords. Where there's that kind of demand, supplying parts can be super-profitable.

What's with people and stealing a honda accord. It must be pretty simple to take. I wonder if insurance cost more for that car because it is stolen so much.
