DALLAS -- DPS released its report on the top vehicles reported stolen in Texas during 2012.
Based on the reports, as has been the case for many years, pickup trucks top the list of thieves' most common targets for the year.
The complete top ten list of 2012 most stolen passenger vehicles in Texas includes:
- Ford Pickup
- Chevrolet Pickup
- Dodge Pickup
- Honda Civic
- Chevrolet Tahoe
- Honda Accord
- GMC Pickup
- Chevrolet Impala
- Toyota Camry
- Ford Taurus
Vehicles are stolen for a variety of reasons, and contrary to popular belief, the most stolen vehicles are several years old. Some are stolen and stripped for parts. Others are stolen and resold by thieves to unsuspecting buyers. Many vehicles are stolen for joyriding, for use in committing other crimes, to perpetrate insurance fraud, to burglarize personal items and documentation, or for any number of other illegitimate purposes. And vehicle theft directly costs Texans more than any other single crime - over $621 million in 2011.
