In 2001, CCC valued an average of more than 7,000 vehicles a day. It bases its report on total-loss vehicles stolen and never recovered or completely totaled by the theft. CCC doesn't include such temporary auto-related thefts as "joy-rides" or theft of car items such as stereos.

A domestic car does not appear on the state's most stolen vehicles list until No. 35 with the 1995 Chevy Blazer 4x4. -- Mirroring consumer choice in Texas, pickup trucks dominated the state's most-stolen vehicles, taking the first 11 slots and 20 of the top 25. The most stolen vehicle was the 1994 Chevrolet C1500 4x2. -- When compared to the state's total claim volume, Michigan holds the highest theft rate in the contiguous states. Since foreign demand for U.S.-made cars is often met by shipping stolen cars across international borders for resale, the Great Lakes surrounding Michigan may allow stolen vehicles to be exported easily into Canada. The most stolen vehicles in Michigan are domestic cars, with an import vehicle not appearing on its list of most stolen vehicles until No. 63. "Though we cannot determine with absolute certainty the reason for vehicle theft, trends show that cars are often stolen for the value of their parts," Prigge said. "Vehicle theft historically follows consumers' choices, which is reflected in the popularity of imports and the gaining popularity of trucks and SUVs among thieves." Toyotas and Hondas lead the most-stolen list partly due to their popularity with consumers. But these cars are popular with thieves also because they tend to have interchangeable parts interchangeable parts Identical components that can substitute one for another, particularly important in manufacturing. Mass production, which transformed the organization of work, came about by the development of the machine-tool industry by a series of 19th-century amongst their model years, creating a profitable market for replacement parts.

SUVs Gain in Popularity Reflecting the continued growth in popularity of trucks and sport utility vehicles This page lists sports utility vehicles currently in production (as of April 2007), as well as past models. The list includes crossover SUVs, Mini SUVs, Compact SUVs and other similar vehicles. (SUVs), thefts of these models in the top 100 has increased seven percent since 1997. In 2001, trucks accounted for nearly half of all vehicle sales, compared with just 15 percent of the U.S. market in 1971. SUVs have seen even more rapid growth - to 31 brands offering 56 nameplates in 2001 from 24 brands and 45 nameplates the previous year and just 28 SUV brands in 1995. This growth in both trucks and SUVs may also be seen in theft rates. In 1997, only one truck was found in the top 25; in 2001 there are four. Since 1997, the percentage of trucks and SUVs in the top 100 total-theft volume has increased to 32.6 percent from 25.7 percent. Increases in truck and SUV theft reflects a shift in consumer preferences for vehicles. This swing is seen in the decline in thefts of full-sized models and "muscle cars."
