Big surprise no volvo's on there. I guess not many peeps want to steal a grocery getter.

Model year 2002 and 2003 Nissan Maximas are the second-most-popular vehicles among thieves according to the HLDI list, primarily because of the car's expensive headlights.

My car avoided it again! It's those 2000 & 2001 integra's that people won't touch thanks to the ignition disable i guess? Who know's.

Oh, HERE is why the M Roadster made the list:

The 2004 stolen vehicle report from CCC Information Services Inc. is based on the rate of theft for a vehicle as a percentage of the total number of that vehicle registered.

It's a percentage of... Basically, if BMW made 100 M Roadsters and 20 were stolen, then that makes a 20% theft rate. Now, if Acura makes 10,000 Integras and 2000 were stolen, that too makes a 20% theft rate. They are the same even though there were 1980 more Integras stolen than 2002 M Roasters. Shitty comparison if you ask me...

It's a bullshit percentage base.

If a company only made 10 cars and 7 were stolen, then that would be a 70% rate and knock that vehicle to the front of the list. That's just bullshit. They should do total number and leave off the percentage of registered vehicles of that type.
