Default Odds of Civic being stolen?

Hi. I have a question.

What's the odds of a 2000 se Civic (4 doors, 106hp motor, no power windows, no cd/cassette, etc) targetted to be stolen specifically?

I mean, there are other cars like a cadillac, trucks with no locked doors, etc. in the area. Would you aim to steal that civic and why?


Forgot to mention, the civic stolen would be stripped of all it's parts.
Might sound stupid but i'm curious..

are you saying the civic would already be stripped BEFORE being stolen? or stolen TO BE stripped?

anyways, civic's (and especially 99-00 civics) are the main targets to be stolen not because they are high class like cadillac's and what not.. but because EVERYONE has a civic.. and EVERYONE can use some civic parts right.

demand = market. market = money. demand = money.

if everyone had a cadillac or a truck, then those would be a target for theft.

they will want your front end - hood, fenders, lights, bumper - if you have an armrest (they want it) - tach on your cluster(they want it) - and the rest they could care less - the odds of it being stolen??? - would say like 4or5 out of ten - dependeding where you live and park it - any theif with a brain wont steal your car -the ex is much more profit frendly - integra, si's, ex's are the ones they want - for parts anyway - relax and enjoy that shiz lol

yeah theft around my area is horrible.
im considering not buying a honda now, cuz i have more paranoia about my car than anything.
i might just go get a vw and end with it.

theres a whole bunch of kids from my area that go out scoping cars at local strips and end up boosting the car sooner or later.
it happened to my friend.

and since there is the internet, selling the parts are no problem cuz there are hella kids out there willing to buy anything, cash, and no questions asked.

Also... it doesnt help that it literally takes 20 seconds or so to steal a Honda.
