There is a probability that cars on the top ten stolen car list would be stolen over other cars that thieves steel in the United States annually. There is a car stolen every 26.4 seconds in the United States today. According the National Insurance Research institute that is 715,373 in the year 2012. This paper is a statistical look at what are the five most stolen in the United States (US). Attempt to show the likelihood of one of these cars stolen from the Top Five Stolen Cars in the United States. I have also done my own research to show how many cars of the top five stolen cars are in the neighborhood I live in to support the data in this paper. I will also compare it to all the other cars that are not on the list so you can see how frequently cars on the top five stolen car list appear around you.
When compiling the data the realization that none of my sources raked the top five stolen cars in the same order. This is because the research materials were written in many different states. Researching further if I had used all the data together the data would give outliers in the statistical analysis. So I chose to use the data from the National Insurance Research Institute for this paper. Looking at the numbers, the number one stolen car in the US is the Honda Accord 58,596. Number two on the list the Honda Civic with 47,037 cars stolen. Statics show that it is in the number two spot with a difference of 11,559 cars between number one and two. This is the second closest difference so that shows it is very popular too. The third spot goes to the Ford F-150 for the national car 26,770 F-150’s were stolen in 2012 making it the first truck choice with car thieves. Being the highest ranked truck in the list it still is 20,667 behind the Honda Civic and 26,770 between the F-150 and the Honda Accord. Chevy Silverado is 2012’s number four most stolen car in the US. This coming from 23,745 trucks stolen in 2012. The number of Chevy trucks stolen in the US is 8,081 less than the Ford 150 this shows that it is the closest from third and fourth spots on the stolen car list. From fourth to second is 23,292 cars, from fourth to first is 34,831. Rounding out the top five is Toyota Camry it has 16,251 stolen for 2012 this is a large drop in numbers from first to the number five spot lets figure this out. From number Five to number four is 7498 and is a very small difference between the two with in being a car and the other a truck. Fifth to third on the stolen car list is the F-150 16,251 cars stolen in the US as of the data of 2012. From fifth to second is the Toyota Camry and the Honda Civic with 30786 cars listed on the top five stolen car list. From the number five to number one is the Toyota Camry and the Honda Accord with 42345 differences. Insert the data you found here.
All the data combined to show that the top five most stolen cars in the US ……..
