What are the most stolen cars in California?
My city in California has had a spike in car thefts over the past few months. I have to park my car on the street, so I’m particularly worried. I added an anti-theft alarm, but I’m not sure if it will make a difference or if my car is just that easy to steal. What are some of the most stolen cars in California?
