 According to tracking and recovery company LoJack and the National Insurance Crime Bureau, an organization supported by insurance companies, the Honda Accord has topped the list of most popular with thieves for the last several years. 
 
 LoJack recently released a list of the top 10 most stolen and recovered LoJack-equipped vehicle models in 2013, which was topped by the Honda Accord for the fifth year in a row. 
 
 The National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) released a similar report last August analyzing stolen cars, insured or not, in 2012 through the National Crime Information Center, the country's central database for reported crimes. That report also indicated the Honda Accord was the most stolen car for the fifth year in a row. 
 
 In NICB's list, the 1996 Accord was the most stolen make and model, with 8,637 thefts. 
 
 Frank Scafidi, director of public affairs for the NICB, said the organization's list and that of LoJack were like comparing "peaches and grapes," but he was not surprised at LoJack's stolen car rankings. 
 
 Honda Accords "are very popular cars. Those things tend to be stolen anyway," Scafidi said, adding that it's unclear how many Honda Accords are on the road.

 "Year after year, the Honda Accord continues to be a top seller at car dealerships throughout the United States for a variety of reasons, including their reliability," said Patrick Clancy, the vice president of law enforcement for LoJack Corporation. "That means year after year there are more Accords on the road, getting into car accidents or needing parts for repair." 
 
 Because car parts are often interchangeable over multiple model years, thieves can get up to three times the value of the vehicle if they sell it for parts, Clancy said. 
 
 "All of these factors result in an increased demand for parts to service Accords, which makes stealing this make and model a very lucrative business for the professional thief," he said.

 Chris Naughton, a spokesman for Honda, said in a statement, "While we cannot completely account for criminal behavior, it is important to note that the Accord has been one of the most popular vehicles in the U.S. for over 30 years, and in 2013 it was the best-selling new car to individual American buyers. Quality, reliability and durability are hallmarks of the Honda brand, and more Honda vehicles sold in the last 25 years are still on the road than any other brand." 
 
 Naughton from Honda said it is not clear how many total units are on the road, but the company has built over 10 million Accords in Marysville, Ohio, over the last 30 years.

 Naughton added that the company continues to equip its new vehicles with the "latest security devices," including the Immobilizer Theft-Deterrent System, which prevents a car's engine from starting without a properly encoded key. 
 
 Here's LoJack's list of most stolen cars that have its security system:

 10. Chevy Tahoe ||||| The most stolen car of 2012 isn't fancy, expensive, or even new. For the fourth year in a row, the 'winner' is the 1994 Honda Accord. Here's why the popular family car topped thieves' lists.

 A logo of Honda Motor Co is pictured at a Honda dealer in Kawasaki, south of Tokyo last month. For the fourth consecutive year, the 1994 Honda Accord had the dubious honor of being the most stolen car in the United States. 
 
 The singling out of the 1994 Honda Accord as the most-stolen car in the United States last year isn’t exactly music to the ears of owners of the popular family car. According to the latest report from the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB), the 1994 Accord once again tops the list, making this the car’s fourth consecutive appearance as the car thieves most love to steal. 
 
 The ’94 Accord’s lack of security features and its popularity as the main reasons why the car is so frequently stolen. In 1997, Honda began equipping its vehicles with immobilizer systems, preventing them from running unless the driver had the key. 
 
 The NICB compiles its annual “Hot Wheels” report by crunching data submitted to the FBI’s National Crime Information Center (NCIC) by law enforcement agencies across the country. 
 
 Number two on the list is also a Honda, the 1998 Honda Civic. A surprise entry in the top three is the 2006 Ford F-150 pickup, the first time a truck ranked so high on the most-stolen list since the NICB began tracking thefts in 2000. Two other full-size pickups, the 1999 Chevrolet pickup and the 2004 Dodge pickup, came in at spots number seven and eight, respectively. The 2002 Ford Explorer SUV ranked ninth. 
 
 Fourth place belongs to the 1991 Toyota Camry, another traditionally best-selling family sedan. Two other sedans, the 1994 Acura Integra and the 1994 Nissan Sentra, ranked in sixth and 10th place. The Dodge Caravan, the only minivan on the list, was the fifth most-stolen vehicle last year nationally. 
 
 As for the increase in thefts of later-model vehicles, the NICB says that’s the result of thieves being able to illegally obtain replacement key codes for specific vehicles. 
 
 There is some good news though in that overall, thefts are decreasing. According to FBI crime statistics, thefts haven’t been this low since 1967.
– Different types of cars rotate in and out of various best-of categories every year, except for one long-time champ: Honda Accord in the odd field of most-stolen vehicle. A new list by car-security company LoJack has the Accord at No. 1 for the fifth straight year, reports NBC News. And it's no statistical fluke on the part of the company: An annual list put out by the National Insurance Crime Bureau also has had the Accord in the top spot for five years' running. So is the Accord particularly vulnerable to break-ins? Not so much. As a LoJack VP explains to ABC News, this is more about supply and demand—for parts. The model has been a longtime favorite with buyers, and "that means year after year there are more Accords on the road, getting into car accidents or needing parts for repair." The upshot is that car thieves can steal an Accord, sell it for parts, and make three times the value of the vehicle, says Patrick Clancy.
