Thread: Top 10 cities for stolen cars

Wow! They are active in Northern California. I used to live in Sacramento. And yes... someone did attempt to steal my car. Thankfully the alarm stopped them and I wasn't in it at the time. And I only lived there three months!

Here are the top 10 cities for car theft in 2010:

1. Fresno, Calif.
2. Modesto, Calif.
3. Bakersfield-Delano, Calif.
4. Spokane, Wash.
5. Vallejo-Fairfield, Calif.
6. Sacramento--Arden-Arcade--Roseville, Calif.
7. Stockton, Calif.
8. Visalia-Porterville, Calif.
9. San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont, Calif.

That's interesting. All but one are in California. What about Newark, NJ or Camden, NJ (or even NYC, NY)? Hmm.

Most of those towns (except 'Frisco) were working class and poor White.

I bet a lot of Latinos have moved in and are now stealing cars. With the state of the economy, I wouldn't be surprised if some Whites are forming auto theft rings too. Will Obama count that as "job growth" in his next speech?

There are also good chunk of Blacks in Sacramento. The mayor is a former Black basketball player, Kevin Johnson.
