Top 10 Most Stolen Vehicles in Texas, Half Are Pick-ups

Crime happens everywhere including here in the state of Texas. It doesn't make sense to me because just about everyone here has a gun and is willing to do whatever it takes to protect themselves, their family, and their property but vehicle theft is something that we all need to watch out for because it happens. But I did take the time to look at the numbers from the National Insurance Crime Bureau to see what are the most stolen vehicles in the state of Texas and it seems like pick-ups are hit hardest.

It was Texas and California that have the most pick-ups stolen, but it's not only pick-ups that are stolen. The top 10 most stolen vehicles list is distributed for each state and the top four vehicles on the list for the state of Texas are all pick-ups. Then the list gets into more cars and a large SUV made the list as well.
