Stolen?...Or, reported stolen? Fire and flood have both become popular ways to get rid of vehicles that people no longer want or, can afford. When "Cash for Clunkers" came along, a lot of folks that had a POS that was likely paid for were suddenly inclined to go get a new car since it was a gov't issued deal. Shortly after, a lot of these cars started getting "stolen" or "vandalized" to the point of total loss.
I read a report on this a while back. I'm gonna look for it. Will post if I find the link.
