Just because your Honda is a clunker doesn't mean it's safe to leave it unlocked while you make a coffee run.

Approximately 1 million vehicles are stolen nationwide every year, but the 1994 Honda Accord is the most stolen car, according to an Aug. 24 report by the National Insurance Crime Bureau. Last year, more than 55,000 Accords were stolen in the U.S. Needless to say, the thieves aren't after style, just substance.

Older vehicles like the 15-year-old Accord are pinched so often because their lack of theft-deterrent technology makes them easy to access and their parts--headlights, tires, catalytic converters and anything containing copper--are valuable on the black market. It also comes down to pure numbers, says Frank Scafidi, a spokesman for the National Insurance Crime Bureau: "Hondas and Toyotas, they sell millions of these things, so there are more targets, obviously."

Most neighborhood hooligans wouldn't know how to steal a Lamborghini, but when it comes to more mundane rides they are equal-opportunity snatchers, Scafidi says. The vehicles most likely to get nabbed range from the tiny Honda Civic, ranked second on our list, to the fifth-ranked Dodge Ram pickup. Even minivans aren't immune--the 2000 Dodge Caravan is a hot target as well.

Here are the top 5 cars thieves love most:

1. 1994 Honda Accord
2. 1995 Honda Civic
3. 1989 Toyota Camry
4. 1997 Ford F-150 Pickup
5. 2004 Dodge Ram Pickup

Kining car thieves, small-time crooks ra ni sila. Or, new crooks just learning the art of living off other people's efforts. Ang big-time, kanang parehas ni Bernard Madoff, ha ha.

Sakto. Di ba one of the tips to deal with mugging is to keep small bills in your wallet, tawag nilag mugger money. Hatag na lang para dili ka madisgrasya.

If your friend's automobile was stolen and your colleague had insurance, their insurance can cover the cost for the purchase of a new car, (can only put up front the same cost of the stolen car for the purchase of a new one, of course).

Your friend should talk closely to the car insurance provider.
