The National Insurance Crime Bureau’s Hot Wheels list compiles stolen vehicle data from law enforcement to determine which vehicles are most coveted by crooks.

In fact, many of the most stolen vehicles continue to be older, pre-“smart key” models, according to the annual report from the National Insurance Crime Bureau.

Anti-theft technology continues to take a bite out of auto thefts, the report said. Thefts in 2016 were down dramatically from their all-time high in 1992.

In the D.C. area, the most stolen vehicles were all Honda Accords: In the District, it was the 1994; in Maryland, the 2012, and in Virginia, the 2002.

Here are the 10 most stolen vehicles in the U.S. in 2016, according to the National Insurance Crime Bureau.
