It's official: The car stolen the most by Missouri thieves is the Ford Taurus. Not that we didn't already know of the Taurus' lusty lure.
In November, Kansas City police released a list of the 10 most stolen vehicles in Kansas City. The Taurus wasn't tops, though. Leading the way: the Ford F-150. Police chalked up the thefts of those vehicles to them being so damn popular.
In Missouri, more than 15,000 vehicles were stolen last year, according
to numbers from the Missouri State Highway Patrol. (The latest report was
put together by the Missouri Insurance Information Service.) And it's
no surprise that the majority of the thefts took place in Kansas City
and St. Louis.
And don't feel comfortable if you're Ford-free. Your car probably isn't safe. Rounding out the top three stolen vehicles are the Dodge Intrepid and the Pontiac Grand Prix.
And here's some advice from the Missouri Insurance Information Service that anyone with common sense knows:
The insurance group says drivers should lock their doors, roll up windows and park in well-lit areas.And you probably shouldn't leave your car running, either. Now I sound like your dad.
