10 most stolen and recovered vehicles of 2012

Is your car attracting the wrong kind of attention? Thieves are drawn to vehicles that are most popular among consumers, have marketable parts, and blend in on the roadways, according to LoJack Corp., which recently released its annual Vehicle Theft Recovery Report.

Massachusetts ranked sixth in the country last year for states with the highest vehicle thefts and recoveries, according to LoJack. This put it behind California, Texas, Florida, New York, and New Jersey.

Avoid these 10 models if you don’t want to be a target. LoJack does not track individual figures for each vehicle model.
