Unfortunately i never took pics. Cuz i never like showing my car off. I looked at the KEYLOCK and by the looks of it the F'ed it up. They knew what they were coming for. Sux that now im left with no car and i have a 1yr daughter to feed. And the car was my job. Now i dont know what to do. Get anher car somehow or wait and see if it is found. Has anyone had their car stolen arond USC that might now some hotspots? Lets keep this at the top.

very sorry to hear about your car. a tip however is that an alarm does no good. Yea it makes alot of noise, but no one ever comes or anything. Your best bet is to either get some sort of gps tracking device, or some kind of kill switch. again sorry to hear about your car

I feel you man. If you look at my avator, thats my 00 si that was stolen back in march and found 1 day later. Worse part about it is that cops won't do **** about any leads and they stuck me with a 200 dollar towing fee.

My condolences, the thieves should be shot for sh*t and hung for stinking.
I vote for the previously mentioned kill switch, it is the only way to keep your car from being driven away.

I have 1 question as to 06+ civics. Are they harder to steal? Or the easy as pie just like my 97? Questioning this cuz I'm planning to drive my dads stock as hatch meanwhile I save maybe about 5K or more for a new civic. But don't want this to happen again.

I was. LoL. But I mean **** I live in a pretty quite area, never heard of civics being stolen here. Would it be a nice idea to post the VIN for the engine? Since it had it on and wasn't stolen till now.....F thieves with a capitol" F"

To answer your question, If newer civics are easier to steal. Every car takes the same effort and time to steal, Cause if someone really wants your car there going to take it. Point Blank. There is nothing you can do to make it un-gettable. You just have to take the proper precautions to make it the most time consuming process to get your car. If you arent prepared to spend money and time doing that, Then the Honda game isnt for you. Don't take this to heart, But thiefs will do anything and everything in their power to get what they want regardless how good you think a certain alarm or anti-theft precaution is.
