if you are including all of North America, then my guess is Mexico City, which also has the highest taco theft rate

[Mr. Ford95]

I'm betting that it was Winnipeg.

Correct me if I am wrong but these top ten cities have a very high Hispanic population guess if you are allready commiting a crime being here ILLEAGALLY you need a stolen car to get around in.

[allan5oh]

Then explain why Winnipeg(I've only seen MAYBE 10 hispanics here) has a 50% higher rate then the #1 American city?

Being of Hispanic origins dosen't mean they are illegals, please don't look at a person's skin and think they are commiting a crime.....Not every "Mexican" looking person really is. I have friends that are Navajo but live away from the res, its amazing how many people think they are Mexican.

[Sheepdancer]

Let the citizens of winnipeg arm themselves and pass laws allowing them to protect their property with deadly force and that statistic will drop dramatically.

[Hat Rak]

Montreal has to be right up there with Winnipeg.

A good friend of mine is half Japanese, half Hawaiian. He used to live in Columbia, SC, and everybody always thought he was Mexican.

I used to tease him about being a "lazy Mexican" ruthlessly.

Dammit, I wonder if Earl ever hooked back up with his wife. They were having real problems for years, and she finally split for Florida. After a couple of weeks, he followed her, and I haven't heard from him since.

I should look him up and call his ass. Stupid pineapple sucking rice eating wetback.
