If you drive a pretty, little 2000 Honda Civic in the state of Florida there's a higher than average chance that you might find it stolen one day. Or so says the National Insurance Crime Bureau. They put together a list of the top 10 most stolen cars in these United State of America, and then broke that down to a state by state level.

Seems that Sunshine State thieves have a thing for Asian vehicles over good ol' Detroit models. Which we could take two ways: either American made cars are so unpopular that they can't even get stolen, or that America makes quality cars with effective security measure (cue fireworks, the national anthem, "Buy America" banner, and eagle tears) ...except for the four that are on this list.

Here's the top 10 list:

1. 2000 Honda Civic
2. 1996 Honda Accord
3. 1990 Toyota Camry
4. 2006 Ford F150 Pickup
5. 2004 Dodge Ram Pickup
6. 2008 Nissan Altima
7. 2000 Dodge Caravan
8. 2007 Toyota Corolla
9. 1995 Nissan Maxima
10. 1996 Jeep Cherokee/Grand Cherokee

Anyway, the lesson in all of this is to buy a German car.
