The National Insurance Crime Bureau<\/a> (NICB) recently released their annual \u201cHot Wheels\u201d report. It identifies the 10 most stolen vehicles in the United Sates.<\/p>\n

    Honda Accords and Honda Civics make-up 42 percent of all top 10 thefts. These are mainly older, pre-\u201csmart key\u201d models. Honda has also equipped their more recent models with other anti-theft technology, greatly reducing the number of newer Civics and Accords from being stolen. Consequently, car thefts in general are down since their all-time high in 1992.<\/p>\n

    Surprisingly, the report reveals thousands of cars are stolen every year for a rather careless reason, because owners leave their keys or fobs in the vehicle. \u201cMost vehicles are stolen from driveway\u2019s,\u201d says Buck with GreatFlorida Insurance<\/a>, Florida\u2019s top independent car insurance<\/a> provider.<\/p>\n

    The Polk County Sheriff\u2019s Office<\/a> provides the following tips to keep your vehicle from being taken.<\/p>\n

    Never leave your car running while unattended, even for a couple of minutes.<\/em><\/p>\n

    Always lock your car and take your keys with you.<\/em><\/p>\n

    Close your windows and sunroof completely.<\/em><\/p>\n

    Do not keep an extra set of keys in a \u201chiding place.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

    When possible park your car in a locked garage or well-lit area.<\/em><\/p>\n

    When selling a car, never let a stranger take it for a test-drive<\/em><\/p>\n

    Drop your business card or a return address label down into window channels for later identification.<\/em><\/p>\n

    Florida law requires that you have your license and registration with you in your vehicle, make a copy for you and other drivers and keep it in your wallet instead of your glove box. Some people who have their cars stolen also become victims of residential burglaries.<\/em><\/p>\n

    If your car is stolen, do not panic. Call your local law enforcement agency and your insurance agent<\/a>. GreatFlorida Insurance<\/a> can handle all your car insurance<\/a> needs from the basics to full replacement costs.<\/p>\n
