2-Door 2000 Honda SiR Most Stolen Vehicle In Province & Country

A 10-year-old import sport compact is the most popular car among thieves across the province and the country, according to a recent report by the Insurance Bureau of Canada.

You may want to be wary if you’re the owner of a two-door 2000 Honda Civic SiR — it’s the most stolen car in Ontario and Canada, the insurance bureau said Thursday.

The 1999 model of the same vehicle ranks second on the list both provincially and nationally.

The other vehicles on the list are high-end models, including Cadillac Escalades, Hummers, a Land Rover, an Audi S4 Quattro and various Acuras.

It’s believed organized crime groups are responsible for many thefts of high-end vehicles. The cars are stripped for parts which are then shipped overseas. Last month, the federal government passed Bill S-9, which gives Canadian Border Services the right to seize stolen vehicles intended for export.

In 2009, 108,172 vehicles were stolen across the country – 27,175 of them in Ontario – according to Statistics Canada.
