The 10 most common stolen cars of '93 according to Car&Driver:
1. 84 Cutlass
2. 86 Camaro
3. 86 Cutlass
4. 87   "
5. 85   "
6. 82 Camaro
7. 84 Regal
8. 87 Caprice
9. 91 S10 Blazer
10. 85 Regal

Parts or joy riding? You make the call. One thing is for sure, keep an 
eye on your GM :-). I thought I'd see more(some) foreign cars on the 
list, too. These figures are reported thefts of insured vehicles.

Anyone would be foolish to view the Club as a theft-proofing. Even the 
manufacturer admits this. What it should be viewed as is a deterrent, 
like if car a and car b are equally desirable to Mr. Re-allocator, the 
one that doesn't have the club will likely get ripped, assuming neither 
has an alarm or other obvious device. How often this actually proves 
useful is another matter, but for the minimal investment and the 
deductible coverage to $2000, it's at least something to consider.
