America’s Most Stolen Cars in 2024 — And Why Your Grandma’s Honda Might Be on the List
Wait… They Stole That Car?
Last week, my neighbor Tony — 58 years old, who drives a 2016 Honda Accord — came outside with his coffee and just stood there, confused. His driveway was empty. No broken glass. No alarm. Just… gone.
His first words? “Why would someone steal that?”
Let’s be real: when we think about car theft, we picture fancy SUVs or maybe some new electric Tesla. But guess what? The most stolen cars in America in 2024 are often the most boring ones. Reliable. Common. Easy to flip for parts.
Visual Capitalist just dropped their latest breakdown of the top stolen cars by state and model, and it’s honestly wild. If you think your 10-year-old Toyota is safe because it’s not flashy — think again.
The Surprising Cars That Thieves Actually Want
1. Honda Accord & Honda Civic
These two have been topping the stolen car charts for years. And they’re still at it in 2024. Why?
Key Detail: Easy to strip for parts, and older models (pre-2011) are super easy to break into.
Local Example: In Los Angeles, Civic thefts are so common some people literally put “PLEASE DON’T STEAL ME” signs in their windows. No joke.

2. Hyundai Elantra & Kia Optima
Thanks to a viral TikTok challenge back in 2023 showing how easy it was to hotwire certain models without push-start, thefts skyrocketed.
Action Tip: If you drive one of these and it was made before 2022, get a steering wheel lock. It’s ugly, but it works.
3. Chevrolet Silverado & Ford F-150
America’s favorite trucks are also top targets — especially in the Midwest and South. Why? They’re everywhere, and parts = big money.
Real Story: A guy in Houston had his Silverado stolen twice in six months. Now he parks with a boot on his own tire. Savage.
4. Toyota Camry & Corolla
They’re reliable, they’re everywhere, and they’ve got parts thieves love. Bonus? Thieves can blend in easily — no one bats an eye at a 2015 Camry rolling down the street.
Quick Tip: Etch your VIN number on your windows — it makes the car harder to sell, and that alone can deter thieves.
5. Nissan Altima
Solid car. But older models (2013–2018) are often stolen in urban areas because they’re easy to resell or strip.
Local Insight: In Philly, insurance companies have started raising premiums just for parking an Altima on the street.
Just Because It’s Not Fancy Doesn’t Mean It’s Safe
The truth? Thieves don’t care about your car’s resale value — they care about access. The easier it is to start, blend in, and disappear with… the more they want it.
If your car’s on this list, you’re not alone — millions of Americans drive the same models. But that doesn’t mean you have to make it easy for someone to take.
What You Can Actually Do (That’s Not Just “Buy a New Car”)
Use a steering wheel lock — low-tech, but still effective.
Install a hidden kill switch — any mechanic can wire one in.
Don’t trust your driveway — thieves hit homes more than parking lots.
Add a dashcam with motion detection — not just for recording, but as a deterrent.
Etch your windows with your VIN — makes your car less desirable for resale.
