These Are America's Top 10 Most Stolen Cars—Is Yours On The List?

Auto theft in the United States finally took a step in the right direction last year, but the numbers show there’s still plenty of work to be done.


According to the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB), vehicle thefts fell by 23 percent in 2025, in what the agency calls a “historic decline.” Even with thefts down nearly a quarter, nearly 660,000 vehicles were still stolen, which works out to one car disappearing roughly every 48 seconds.


Despite the nationwide drop, California continues to lead the country in vehicle theft, with close to 137,000 reported cases in 2025. The Los Angeles area alone saw significantly more thefts than any other metro region, nearly doubling totals seen in places like New York and New Jersey.


On the flip side, states like Washington and Colorado recorded some of the biggest year-over-year improvements.

Even with theft declining, prevention remains critical. The NICB recommends a mix of old-school and modern strategies:


  • Always lock your doors and secure your keys
  • Use steering wheel locks or visible deterrents
  • Install GPS tracking devices or AirTags
  • Consider aftermarket alarms or immobilizers
  • Be mindful of where you park
