Default They don't steal good cars, they steal cars that taste good (eh?)
As someone once pointed out to me, the biggest demand for parts is for the most popular cars. So if you put the most-sold and most-stolen lists side by side, they should match up pretty good.

What I don't get: "They're worth more as 'parts'" OK, then why would anyone ever sell a "whole car"?

I though thievs are interested in acuras, because they can use Acuras brakes in their Civics.

More importantly, why don't we all sell our own cars, part by part, and retire young?

Okay, try and follow this: Buy car/sell it as "parts"/buy another/pocket the difference/drive on!
