NEWS IN BRIEF
Camry most-stolen
for fifth-straight year
DETROIT (AP) — Toyota Camry
was the most stolen vehicle model
for the fifth-straight year on an
annual list that monitors trends in
auto theft.
Overall, vehicle thefts fell 2.7 per
cent last year, according to Chicago-
based CCC Information Services
Inc., an insurance industry tracker of
trends in theft and vehicle damage.
Not surprisingly, the most stolen
cars were the perennial sales lead
ers. Nineteen of the 25 most-
stolen cars on the list were Toyota
Camrys and Honda Accords or
Civics of different years.
