According to the National Insurance Crime Bureau, “For Car Thieves, the West is Best” :

For 2005 the ten metropolitan statistical areas with the highest vehicle theft rates are:

1. Modesto, CA
2. Las Vegas/Paradise, NV
3. Stockton, CA
4. Phoenix/Mesa/Scottsdale, AZ
5. Visalia/Porterville, CA
6. Seattle/Tacoma/Bellevue, WA
7. Sacramento/Arden-Arcade/Roseville, CA
8. San Diego/Carlsbad/San Marcos, CA
9. Fresno, CA
10. Yakima, WA

Read it and weep, San Diego and Fresno. You got nothing on us when it comes to car thefts. Now, while Sacramento ranked #7 in the country, we’re actually #4 among California cities, which means we moved up one position on the list compared to last year.

We done good Sacramento. Give yourselves a hand. We’ll catch those Stockton suckaz yet.
