It's that time of year again. The National Insurance Crime Bureau has just released its <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/08/31/top-ten-stolen-vehicles-of-2008/">top 10 stolen vehicles</a> from 2009, and once again, the most stolen vehicle in the U.S. continues to be the 1994 <a href="http://www,autoblog.com/model/accord">Honda Accord</a>. In fact, all but three vehicles retained the same slots on the list as they held last year. Newcomers include the 1994 <a href="http://www,autoblog.com/make/chevrolet">Chevrolet</a> full-size pickup at number 7, the 2002 <a href="http://www,autoblog.com/model/explorer">Ford Explorer</a> at number 9 and the 2009 <a href="http://www,autoblog.com/model/corolla">Toyota Corolla</a> at number 10. The '02 Explorer moved up one notch from last year, and both the 1999 <a href="http://www,autoblog.com/model/taurus">Ford Taurus</a> and 1996 <a href="http://www,autoblog.com/make/jeep">Jeep</a> Cherokee/Grand Cherokee dropped off of the list all together. <br />
<br />
The <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/09/16/fbi-reports-car-thefts-at-all-time-low-but-so-are-recoveries/">FBI recently released a study</a> finding vehicle theft in the United States was at its lowest point in nearly 20 years, though recovery rates were similarly lower than ever, too. NCIB says that may be due to the fact that the majority of vehicles stolen today are immediately cut up for parts instead of being resold as whole vehicles. Like the FBI, NICB recommends owners use common sense by locking their vehicles, installing a warning or immobilization device and considering a tracking mechanism. <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/09/23/top-ten-stolen-vehicles-of-2009/#continued">Hit the jump</a> for the full press release.<br />
