Top Ten Most Stolen Cars In Delaware

Top Ten Most Stolen Cars In Delaware in 2021

Driving in Delaware is no easy task.  Living here in the First State, especially if you're near the I-95 Restore The Corridor project, you know traffic can be the worst!  Even if your commute doesn't take you into Philly or Jersey, it can still take time to get around.

Will this construction ever stop?  It will.  At least on I-95. But, we know a new project will soon pop up.  Like, maybe a local bridge?

So, what could make our daily commutes even worse?  Waking up to find our vehicle has been stolen would do the trick.

The crew over at Car Scoops put together a list of not only the top ten most stolen cars in Delaware, but also in every state across the nation.
