Hybrid is Least Stolen Car, Study Reveals
The National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) has just released its latest report, which shows that the Toyota Prius hybrid is the least stolen car in America. Between the years 2000 and 2012, the Prius accounts for approximately 50 percent of all hybrids sold in the U.S., but ranks at the bottom of the list when it comes to cars that thieves target. Criminals have, according to the NICB, several reasons for avoiding the car, though the uniqueness of its engine system seems to be a primary factor. Besides the difficulty in transplanting the engines, there is a relatively small secondary market for Prius parts. So many of the cars are still under warranty that car thieves find it hard to sell what they do manage to steal. For the complete story, see:
