In its annual "Hot Wheels" report, the National Insurance Crime Bureau released the top 10 most stolen cars in 2007.

The top four on the list are unchanged from 2006. And for the fourth year in a row, the 1995 Civic was ranked in the top 10.

Overall vehicle theft dropped 8.9 percent in 2007, according to the FBI's preliminary Uniform Crime Report. Incidences of auto theft have declined nationally every year since 2004.

The top 10 most stolen cars of 2007:

1995 Honda Civic

1991 Honda Accord

1989 Toyota Camry

1997 Ford F-150

1994 Chevrolet C/K 1500 Pickup

1994 Acura Integra

2004 Dodge Ram Pickup

1994 Nissan Sentra

1988 Toyota Pickup

2007 Toyota Corolla

In just its first year on the road, the 2007 Toyota Corolla made its way to No. 10 on the list.

To protect their investment, NICB recommends vehicle owners follow a "layered approach" to auto theft prevention. The layers the Bureau recommends are:

Common Sense: The cheapest form of defense is to simply employ locks, anti-theft devices that are standard on all vehicles, NICB said. Lock your car and take your keys.

Warning Device: Having and using a visible or audible warning device is another item that can ensure that a car remains where it was left.

Immobilizing Device: "Kill" switches, fuel cut-offs and smart keys are among the devices that are high and low tech, but extremely effective. Generally speaking, if a car won't start, it won't get stolen.

Tracking Device: Some systems use global positioning systems to track a vehicle. Others use radio frequency technology and help law enforcement track and recover it quickly.

Finally, NICB recommends its VINCheck feature, a consumer protection service that includes information on vehicles that have been declared "total losses" by participating NICB member insurance companies, unrecovered stolen vehicle data and flood vehicle data.
