Good to see no Rotaries in that list too... Maybe it's coz all the people that drive them are crack heads with pit bulls & shotguns

Who would want to steal a Nissan Presea? SR20DE can't be that great.

Didn't think there was enough Presea's in NZ to make the list even if EVERY single one of them got stolen............

Perhaps its supposed to be Primera????

who the $&#$% would steal a prelude? if your in the crime game, i'm sure stealing a bloody prelude of all things would not help your street rep at all.

and a cefiro?not exactly a desirable car!! FFS there are some retards out there!

Sigh.... Maybe I should think twice before cleaning the S14....
Motorsport is like sex. You could take it to track and have a long, enjoyable session, or you could take it to the strip and get it over with in less than 20 seconds.

I guess there are lots of reasons why you would steal a car. Not just because it goes fast. It just doesn't fit with the rest of the cars on the list.

All above cars: Joy rides, parts and easy. SR's, RB's, EJ's and B series. all know "fun" engines.

Presea is a lolwut? I think they may have meant Primera.

exactly

they probably wont insure a rotor so that will explain their lack on the list
and its rated by % of how many insured so if 1 presea out of 2 they insure is stolen then it will rank high

and of course cefiro's are common to steal they old (probably easier to take) and common for modifying

most cars on there are pillarless doors...

As an ex-prelude owner; they are the easiest car to get into without damaging in any way shape or form. Ditto civics & integras. You don't have to be clever to open one.

...and I like to think my GTT's not on the list for two reasons:
1) They have awesome factory security locks.
2) Retards aren't into them.

I might be dreaming re: point 1, but point 2 must be a certainty.
