The bill, HB 1470, is sponsored by Rep. Fred Kratky, D-St. Louis. The city of St. Louis saw auto thefts rise 15 percent over last year. Nationally, the No. 1 stolen car was a 1989 Toyota Camry, followed by a 1994 Honda Accord, 2000 Honda Civic, 1992 Chevrolet Full-Size C/K pickup and the Ford Full-Size pickup. The most popular colors of vehicles stolen in 2002 were white, red, blue, black and green.
Reported vehicle theft has fallen to a 20-year low even as the number of vehicles on the road has doubled, as manufacturers install sophisticated anti-theft technology in cars and police target organized car-theft rings. The FBI estimates 956,846 motor vehicles were stolen in 2008 â 315 cars for every 100,000 people. That's less than half the rate in 1991, when a high of 1.66 million vehicles were stolen â 659 for every 100,000 people. Data for 2009 are not yet available. There are more than 245 million vehicles on the road today, up from 122 million in 1989, says Charles Territo, spokesman for the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, a trade organization.
