Last year the amount of stolen vehicles jumped from 494 to 688. Honda Accords and Toyota Camrys are ranked as the two most stolen vehicles, and the Humboldt County sheriff’s Office says most thefts occur in Eureka. There are a few precautions owners can take to help reduce theft opportunity. Commonly targeted items are electronic devices and bags, so make sure those items are out of sight.

Vehicle theft can also be a gateway to a home burglary if a house key or garage opener is available in the vehicle.
