Take into account the rarity of each of those cars, and you'll quickly figure out that the Metro's sales figures would make IT the more likely candidate to get stolen.

Unfortunately, in all aspects other than relative price, Civics are 12/$0.10.
Ah yes, didn't think about that. That makes me feel better, except for the fact that I'm driving a Geo.
