Top Car Theft Cities, Yakima?
Just read on Yahoo news that Yakima was one of the top ten cities for cars stolen. I can understand the other larger cities, especially being close to Mexico, but Yakima?
Top ten metro areas by per capita auto theft rate
- Las Vegas/Paradise, Nev.
- Stockton, Calif
- Visalia/Porterville, Calif.
- Phoenix/Mesa/Scottsdale, Ariz.
- Modesto, Calif.
- Seattle/Tacoma/Bellevue, Wash.
- Sacramento/Arden-Arcade/Roseville, Calif.
- Fresno, Calif.
- Yakima, Wash.
10. Tucson, Ariz.
