Why are Oldsmobiles such a favorite?

Maybe it's just a coincidence but the Cutlass , FWD and RWD ,always was on the top ten list of most stolen cars in the U.S. Easy to steal or a just a cheap driver ?

Could part of it just be because during the late 70's and early to mid-80's, the Cutlass was always the number one or two top selling car model in the US?

More to steal, more parts being made, more in the boneyards in later years for cheaper "pimping".

jbsides, glad I don't live in your neighborhood........I'd move after the first time that happened.

It's actually a very safe area (the local cops will stop you for the slightest suspicion or infraction), there are just a couple factors that introduce the incidents. Pacific Coast Highway goes right though town, bringing through a ton of transient traffic, and we border on Long Beach, which has a heavy gang influence. Been living here 16 years, and the only problems I ever experienced had to do with that Delta 88. My impression was always the attraction was for the parts more than the vehicle itself.

Seal Beach is a nice place. My brother lived there for years...about two blocks from the main st area. He then moved to Huntington Harbor....
