Top 10 most stolen vehicles (Fumanchu's S2000 is on the list!)

http://biz.yahoo.com/weekend/theft_1.html

S2000 made the list, which doesn't totally surprise me.
The BMW 7 series does surprise me.

Well it is the Top 10 list of the most commonly "stolen LUXURY" vehicles in the U.S.

As to oppose to the Most Common stolen car. Such as Civics and Acura's.

It's the most commonly "stolen LUXURY" vehicles. NOT the most commonly stolen regular vehicles"

They consider breaking in a vehicle as being stolen as well.

Why the RX7 didn't make this list

"These figures cover 2002-2004 model year vehicles with an original MSRP of $30,000 or more."

People dont usually steal Rx-7s, except for first gens. I have know of a few gsl-se that were stolen. F up people usually break your window and just take what they want.
