These criminals must be stupid! Why steal a 1994 Honda Accord when you can steal a 2009 or 2008 Honda Accord?

Also, why not steal a late model Mercedes or BMW?

These people aren’t using their heads.

There usually isn't much demand for parts of new cars. Older cars break down, thus more demand for older car parts.

Thieves go after easy targets. Late model cars are more likely to have alarms and other, better, anti-theft equipment.

I think they often base their choices on parts demand. For most car thieves, stripping cars for parts, or quckly unloading them to a “chop shop” is easier and safer for them than trying to unload whole stolen cars.

I can understand stealing a 1994 Honda Accord in this condition. :-)
