Overall, vehicle thefts fell 2.7 percent last year, according to Chicago- based CCC Information Services Inc., an insurance industry tracker of trends in theft and vehicle damage.

The 1994 Chevrolet C1500 4x2 pickup was the highest-ranking vehicle on the list that was not made by Toyota or Honda.

Of the top 25 most stolen vehicles, five are sport utility vehicles or pickup trucks - all from U.S. automakers. The rise in thefts of trucks and SUVs mirrors their increasing popularity among new vehicle buyers.
