The city of Las Vegas, as in the rest of the state of Nevada, requires by law that all car drivers have a minimum level of auto liability insurance and driving in Las vegas, Nevada, as with all other US states, without any car insurance can cause you to face a hefty fine and also the possibility of having your driving license suspended if you are caught. A minimum level of liability cover is required to cover a level of medical expenses for any persons injured in a road traffic accident that is deemed to be your fault. Further levels of more comprehensive cover are available to meet more of your own medical expenses, damage caused in the event of an accident and also car theft for example.

In 2006, Las Vegas was recorded as the No.1 hotspot for car theft in the US by a report from the National Insurance Crime Bureau and many drivers without theft cover would have been left with a hefty bill to cover the costs of damage or replacement where the vehicle was written off due to malicious damage or fire. Recent reports have shown that in Las Vegas, Nevada, your car is potentially more likely to be stolen if its relatively old ie. more than 10 years old. The National Insurance Crime Bureau releases a "Hot Wheels" annual report that statistics for care crime at state and national levels.

In 2008, more than half the vehicles listed as the most stolen vehicles in Nevada were over 10 years old:

1. 1992 - Honda Accord

2. 1995 - Honda Civic

3. 1990 - Toyota Camry

4. 2005 - Dodge Ram Pickup

5. 1994 - Nissan Sentra

6. 2006 - Nissan Altima

7. 2006 - Ford F150 Pickup

8. 1994 - Saturn Sl

9. 1995 - Acura Integra

10. 2001 - Chevrolet Extended Cab 4x2 Pickup

It seems that Las Vegas' car theft is getting better relatively however since it had dropped in the rankings for the top car theft hotspots for the third year running. Las vegas dropped to the No. 7 spot on the list of top hotspots for car theft in 2008 with 13,662 thefts whereas it was the No. 2 car theft hot spot in 2007 with around 16,000 thefts and No. 1 in 2006.

Even taking into account the falling theft statistics for Las Vegas and Nevada as a whole, you are still likely to face a higher car insurance premium if your vehicle is listed as high risk of theft, such as the vehicles listed in the top ten above. If you are looking to find cheaper car insurance then take into consideration the make and model of the vehicle you drive - SUVs, sports cars and those models listed above, especially if they are older than 10 years old it would seem, have a high theft rate are a bigger risk to the car insurance companies and so naturally the cost of insuring these vehicles will be higher. If you are currently considering buying a car and need to budget for your insurance then find out which makes and models are in the high insurance groups first and consider removing them from your list.

Honda Civic Tops 2006 Stolen Cars List

According to the National Insurance Crime Bureau statistics, a car is stolen every 25.5 seconds. As such, communities nationwide have to be cautious because they constantly face the risk of auto theft.

The NICB was created to work with insurance companies to prevent insurance fraud and auto theft. As part of its functions, the Bureau provides statistics and list of cars most popular among thieves.

Based on the Bureau’s data, the 1995 Honda Civic topped the list of cars most likely to be broken into or stolen in the previous year. On the second and third spots were the 1989 Toyota Camry, and the 1991 Honda Accord, respectively. The Nissan Sentra, Acura Integra and the Ford F-150 also made it to the list.

Luxury automakers such as the manufacturer of the Acura brake booster and Cadillac Escalade are the hot subjects of thievery. Also, statistics shows that students are now treated as easy prey to burglary.

Robyn Brinkerhoff, a junior majoring in communications from St. George, said a former roommate had his car broken into. “He came out of the house one morning on the way to school and was startled to find his car had been burglarized sometime during the night. The only thing they had stolen were his school books out of his backpack,” Brinkerhoff said. “He had CDs, a stereo, and all they were after was his books. They didn’t even take the backpack.”

Thieves are keen. Whether they wanted a particular equipment or document inside the car, or the vehicle itself, they will find a way to get it.

Based on the 2006 Crime Statistics Year End Total report gathered by the St. George Police Department, there were 137 motor vehicle thefts reported in the city of St. George for that particular year. This number mirrors only a tiny portion of the 7,267 vehicle thefts reported in the state of Utah as a whole, said the Utah Department of Public Safety’s crime statistics report.

Sgt. Craig Harding, public information officer for the St. George Police Department, presented a seminar in September at the Dixie Center explaining how community awareness prevents crimes.

He described the three components of a crime: a perpetrator, a victim and an opportunity. “A crime won’t occur if one of these components does not exist. If the perpetrator is there with the mind and will to commit a crime, and the person comes out of the darkened stairwell giving the opportunity but the person is prepared, the ‘victim’ aspect has been taken out of the equation,” Harding said.

The NICB suggested a layered approach, which is described in an advice article titled “America’s most stolen vehicles” published on MSN Web site. The layers are low-cost effective suggestions that will make cars less attractive to thieves.

The first of four layers the experts suggest is basic but often accidentally overlooked. Lock the car, and take the keys – that’s it. The second is equipping the vehicle with an alarm system or warning device. Immobilizing the car by using a smart key fuel cut-off is the third layer, and finally, installing some form of tracking device that would allow authorities to recover a vehicle if stolen is the fourth, Dixie Sun reported.

I'm looking for my first car to learn stick shift/manual transmission on?

Well i have my eyes set on an Acura Integra GS-R 1997 sedan. For my back up cars (if my parents say not to the integra, which will be very saddening =[ ) i am willing to go for a civic for manual. Also, would an accord stick shift be okay? i never see those. any other recommendations?

My mom's boyfriend has an Accord with a manual transmission, but he said that the manual transmissions for Accords have reliability issues so you have to be easy on it.
