Car Thefts in Fresno & California

For those of you who live here in Fresno, have been to Fresno, or plan to visit Fresno, some great news coming out of the National Insurance Crime Bureau, Fresno is no longer listed in the top 10 worst cities for vehicle thefts! Fresno fell to a 'respectable' 11th place in 2007 from 8th place in 2006.

Here are the top 10 cities in order starting with the worst city

1. Modesto, CA
2. Las Vegas, NV
3. San Diego, CA
4. Stockton, CA
5. San Francisco-Oakland, CA
6. Laredo, TX
7. Albuquerque, NM
8. Phoenix-Scottsdale, AZ

Of course, the San Joaquin Valley area also takes spots 11-13 with Fresno, Visalia, and Sacramento (in addition to #1 and #4 spots with Modesto and Stockton).
