From article:
-- Hondas are most stolen cars --
Ironically, it's Honda's quality that makes their older model cars such an easy target.
Witte said they last so long, and get driven so much, that the key, and the tumblers inside the ignition, are worn down, and lose their distinctive shape.
"Key becomes worn, ignition becomes worn, you can pretty much take any Honda key and walk to any Honda and start that vehicle," Witte said.
Witte said any pre-2005 Honda is an especially easy target, if the doors aren't locked.
But thieves can often use that same worn down key to open a locked door.
