Besides being known in and around the United States as the home of the Grand Canyon, the Petrified Forest National Park, Montezuma Castle, Lake Powell and the Picacho Peak, Arizona also has a new nickname due to the steadily increasing string of vehicles stolen in the state: Car Theft Capital of the World.

Featuring an astounding yearly car theft rate of 57,000 vehicles, Arizona earned a top spot in the Federal Bureau of Investigation's watch list of the most likely places that your car will be stolen, where it is preceded by Florida and followed by Michigan. The bulk of these crimes occur in the most densely populated areas of the state, particularly Tempe, Glendale, Chandler and Phoenix.

According to Frank Sciafidi, public affairs director for the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB), which monitors auto theft trends and data across the country, that there's a car stolen in the Grand Canyon State every 25 seconds, amounting to almost $6 billion in damages annually. "Besides Arizona's proximity to the Mexican border, there are a lot of similar exit points crooks can take advantage of to steal vehicles for export," he adds.

And the sad thing is your car might be their next target. No need to worry just yet though. Getting the safety and protection you need is as easy as zeroing in on the finest Arizona auto insurance quotes available these days.

Apart from safeguarding the investment you've made in your car, you'll never have to worry about losing the valuable assets you've worked hard to collect the next time you take your car out for a spin in the Grand Canyon State.
