“CCC is fortunate to have Dave join our organization as interim CFO,” said Githesh Ramamurthy, CCC chairman and CEO. “His extensive experience in providing financial leadership to organizations of varying sizes will be a great asset for CCC.”

Most Stolen Vehicle List of 2003
According to CCC Information Services Inc.’s 2003 most stolen vehicle report, one of every 200 registered 1995 Saturn SL’s were stolen last year, making it 2003’s most stolen vehicle. The 1998 Acura Integra and 1994 Saturn SL ranked as the second and third most stolen vehicles respectively.

CCC identifies the most-stolen vehicles by analyzing total loss claims it receives from more than 350 property and casualty insurers in North America. This year, CCC compared its stolen-vehicle data against vehicle registration volume information provided by R. L. Polk & Co. to determine the rate of theft as a percentage of registered vehicles. The vehicle with the highest theft percentage is deemed the year’s most stolen vehicle.
