Compaired to new vehicles I guess they are easier to steal... But for under $200 you could have a ver decent imobilizer that should keep the joyriding kids or crackheads away.. My insurance provider gives discounts if you have one of these too.. Pays itself off!

Or wire in a few kill switches..

im thinking its either the keys are similar and have 20 years of natural filing on the ridges so most older cars accept them or they only had so many cylinder/lock sets and everybody used them...
