A study out of the Netherlands shows that bright colors tend to deter car thieves. The reason, the study concluded, is that people don’t want to buy bright colored cars and thus the color effects the resale value.

According to the study, 80% of cars stolen were black, blue or silver/gray. The study looked at cars stolen in the Netherlands during 2004-2008. Out of 109 pink cars none were stolen.

The question we are left asking—why are there 109 pink cars in the Netherlands?
