5) The Toyota Camry. With so many on the road, these are easy targets as the resale value is high, and there are tons of them to try and get at.

4) The Honda Accord. While this is a more eastern, larger city target, it still remains high in Montana as well.

2) The Honda Civic. Smaller cars are bigger targets in large, metro areas, but Montana, because of the large expanse, also tops the list with these cars.

1) The Ford Full Size Pickup. Yep, the number one stolen vehicle in Montana and over a huge part of the country is the Ford pickup.
