Question

Is it true that the 2007 toyota corolla is of the the top 10 cars most stolen?(just read it on msn) Y is that?

Answer 1

Because they are build to be stolen?

Answer 2

possibly because of their gas mileage?

and because they are slightly more sporty than the old corollas.

Answer 3

no!, honda is.

Answer 4

Yes. Take it from a guy who knew people who ran grand theft auto operations on teh east coast. Two things- the parts- they're so popular and the car in parts can easily be sol- mainly CPU, air bags, rims, dash, etc.

secondly, they're exported to Latin America, Carribean, Mexico, Eastern Europe, Africa. Due to the engine size and low gas consumption. It's easy to drop it off in Columbia with other goods in a trailer, go to your crooked customs agent and get the clearance papers, get it on the truck to your garage, then sell it on a lot. They're built in the US and japan so they're a import premium in other countries so they're much more expensive and in high demand.
