Incidents of car theft have dropped to their lowest levels in over four decades, according to new research from the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB).

 

Car theft rates dropped 7.2 percent between 2009 and 2010. Experts believe built-in anti-theft technology and aggressive action by law enforcement may account for the decrease.

 

The NICB also released a list of the top 10 cities for car theft:

 

1. Fresno, Calif.

2. Modesto, Calif.

3. Bakersfield-Delano, Calif.

4. Spokane, Wash.

5. Vallejo-Fairfield, Calif.

6. Sacramento, Calif.

7.Stockton, Calif.

8. Visalia-Porterville, Calif.

9. San Francisco/Oakland/Fremont, Calif.

10. Yakima, Wash.
