Is anyone else shocked that Buick Century is on this list They are decent cars, I just wouldn't think they were desirable in the black market.

Car thieves....they're so out of touch with the times they ought to be members of Congress. With gas the way it is I'm sure they'll start leaving the trucks alone and make the Honda Civic No. 1.

Nope, they will just steal gas, too, so it doesn't matter what car or truck they steal.

A few months back, a friend of ours had his Ford 250 stolen out of his driveway. He lives in the Memorial area. Police told him...be careful, it would be likely the thieves would be back in a few months...they know 9 times out of 10 an owner will replace a truck with a truck! Sure enough, they came back about 2 weeks ago and "attempted" to take the new one too! This time he had his alarm set to sensitive, [LEFT]motion detector[/LEFT] lights which lit up the driveway when activated. He go out to the driveway just as they were running to a truck idling in the street. Unfortunately, the truck doesn't fit in the garage.

LOL....so car/truck thieves keep track of what and where they have stolen? LOL....I can just see them making notes on their little BB's.
