Here's Your Top 10 Most Stolen Cars in California List
If you own a 1996 Honda Accord, you better lock it up tight.

NEWPORT BEACH, CA—The National Insurance Crime Bureau released their annual "Hot Car" report, identifying the top ten stolen vehicles in the United States. Topping the list, at over 50,000 models stolen, the 1996 Honda Accord, while the Nissan Altima is the most stolen 2015 model car across the country.
"While older vehicles still dominate our Hot Wheels most stolen list, the number of late model vehicles with anti-theft protection on the list goes to show that technology isn't foolproof," NICB President and CEO Joe Wehrle said. "Criminals are doing their best to defeat anti-theft technology through hacking and other means while, at the same time, manufacturers and others are working to improve security."
