I too am a bit biased towards yellow. I figure if you're going to be driving a cool car, you might as well be noticed!

Car thieves leave bright-colored cars alone
The risk that a car in an uncommon, bright exterior color like yellow or purple will be stolen is almost 40 percent lower than the risk for a car in a popular color like silver of black. Pink cars rarely get ever stolen. Car thieves leave cars in uncommon colors alone because of their relatively low resale value. The deterrent effect of an uncommon exterior color on the risk of car theft is about as large as the effect of a high-quality car security device. These are the conclusions from a study of car theft in the Netherlands by Ben Vollaard, crime researcher at Tilburg University. The full results can be read at Vox.

That being the case, I'd just like to remind the car thieves of the world that:

1) ABM is a pretty darned bright color. See photos of it in the sun, it's gleaming!

2) ABM is VERY VERY uncommon*!!! I'm not usually one to be elitist about these things, but if it deters crime I'll take whatever help I can get.

*Except where I am, apparently. Three ABM Camaros in a 5 mi. radius... not cool.
