:wtf: Acura? Oh well, guess we can just look on the bright side: as long as the car thieves are ricers, there's not much danger to us ;)

"...compares loss claimes to the total number of registered vehicles"

this could mean that owners of certain cars "arrange" their car to be stolen... because they can't sell

on the other hand, when there are 100 Acuras registered, but only 10 Audis, it is easier to steal 20 Acuras than 2 Audis

it could also mean, that the people don't even want to steal cars any more wich need a lot of gas...

whatever, just theories. don't take it too serious.

also, if I want to steal a car to just travel from one place to the other without being caught... I would probably pick an Acura... :lol:
