THEFT RATINGS
Theft ratings are compiled from information provided by the Federal Bureau of
Investigation and vehicle manufacturers. NHTSA calculates a theft rate for each vehicle
based on the number of vehicles tolen and the number of vehicles manufactured. Based on
1992 data, which is the latest information available, a mid-point theft rate was
calculated. Vehicles with theft rates above or below that value was noted in the chart.
NHTSA requires manufacturers to mark targeted vehicle parts with the vehicle
identification number or provide a NHTSA-approved anti-theft device as standard equipment.
Many insurance companies offer discounts of 5 percent to 20 percent of the
comprehensive portion of insurance premiums for vehicles equipped with an anti-theft
device. Be sure to ask your insurance company if it offers all discounts for an anti-
theft device.
