Lock that car in Modesto...
According to the Associated Press, Modesto beats Las Vegas as the car-theft capital of the United States:
A new ranking of vehicle thefts drops Las Vegas from the top spot it held in 2006, to second in 2007. The National Insurance Crime Bureau report still puts Las Vegas with four California cities on the list of the top five auto thefts per capita. But Modesto now tops the list, with the San Diego area third, followed by Stockton and the San Francisco-Oakland area.
