Hearing about all these thefts to ITR's makes me want to find different ways to stop theft. One thing I heard that works is when you are parked you can turn the wheel all the way to the left for an integra or all the way to the right for a civic. (Or the other way around not sure) By doing this if a thief tries to break your steering column it will not work once they do it. I was just wondering if this were true, Im just trying to put as much security on my car as possible.

^^^Never heard of that. Heard turn the wheel so its harder to tow away, or roll away.

you have much to learn. turning your steering wheel to one side does nothing but lock the steering wheel. the breaking of the ignition column will NOT disable the steering wheel function at all and as a matter of fact it locking it to one side aids in the breaking of the colum giving the thief leverage.

dont spend your money on the blingage as most do. spend all your money on layered security first then get the blingage. do people listen .. nah.. looking cool is much more important..

also do an archive search under "stolen type r" or similiar titles. learn from other idiots mistakes, you can make any car safe if you are willing to go the distance in keeping it yours.
