But another thing that occurs more in the warmer weather than other times of the year are car thefts.

Anyway, back to the subject of today’s blog- car thefts. Now obviously there’s a chance that anyone’s car can get boosted, and furthermore there are steps you can take to better prevent a theft, but by and large, it seems that the data would suggest that crooks are hunting for very specific vehicles. So that’s why such things like CT auto insurance are unique from driver to driver and car to car. And speaking about that data, below are the results of the most popular vehicles stolen in 2013:
