Asking questions is key to car shopping — how is its mileage? How does it drive? What's the resale? But here's one question prospective car buyers could ask more often: How likely is it to get stolen? In case you are wondering about it, check out this article of Insidermonkey about the most stolen vehicles in the US.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), a vehicle is stolen every 44 seconds in the United States. Taking measures such as parking your car in the garage and using an anti-theft device goes a long way toward preventing auto theft, and it may even earn you a discount on your car insurance premiums. Knowing which cars are most likely to be stolen can help you can protect yourself from becoming a victim of auto theft. However, if you already have a car, and it is among criminals' favorites, there's a silver lining. According to preliminary FBI statistics, overall vehicle thefts in the U.S. fell 3.2 percent last year to fewer than 700,000. That's the lowest since 1967 and a more than 50 percent drop since the high in 1991, when 1,661,738 vehicles were stolen.
