I'd agree with this list.
The Nissan Altima is a fine automobile

Only 3 Hondas?

Most of the list is either new/almost new or 20 years old. The ones in between have more anti-theft protection but not the fully automated keyless start and go that new cars have.

Honda started taking theft prevention seriously in 2001. The Integra's successor, the RSX, doesn't appear on top 10 stolen lists, for example.

They are stolen for auto parts, not driven around to impress anyone.

Could it be that these are being parted out or chopped after they are stolen. It would be interesting to see or know how many "whole units" are being recovered.

 

[Kestas]

Agreed. It's the value of the parts and whether many copies of the car have been sold. It's a lot easier to market parts from an F150 or Camry than from a Ferrari.

Most auto thieves aren't starring in Gone in 60 Seconds. These "popular" stolen vehicles are presumably easy to steal and plentiful. Great options for when you need to back something through the front doors of a store at 2am and steal the ATM.

I heard they used to drive at least a small number of stolen vehicles to ports to be loaded onto container ships to the middle east or somewhere - guessing that's not an issue now...

 

[PimTac]

The pickups and Hondas are definitely targets here but pretty much anything gets stolen. Just in the county I live in over 1800 cars were stolen, just in September.

 

[DemoFly]

What sick individual would want to steal a 2006 F150. This has to be 3v owners committing insurance fraud?

 

[bdcardinal]

The Super Duty trucks of that era, at least the diesels, mostly didn't have the PATS system. Only the Harley Davidson package diesels had PATS. A friend of mine had his stolen like 4-5 times when he was in Texas. The police found it each time abandoned in the desert after it was driven to Mexico and back smuggling drugs or whatever.
