    Statistics show that in the United States a car is stolen every 26 seconds. Owning a car that is frequently targeted by car thieves may have a bearing on your auto insurance rates. Sports cars also can be more costly to insure than other types of vehicles. If you own a vehicle that is on this list or is popular among thieves in your area, the best thing to do is to equip your car with layered anti-theft protection. Having an automatic anti-theft device could save you money on your auto insurance. Comparing rates from various car insurers can also save you money.
