There have been occasions, that I assure you. However, most theives that steal Hondas are'nt typically the "towing" type. The risk is much greater than the reward. You should expect BMW's, Porsches' and other exotics to get the flatbed first. Now I'm not saying it wont happen, 'cuz I'm sure it could/does. A *layered* security system is your best defense.

yups! if they want it, no matter how much security u put, they will tow it and strip it inside a garage.

I just got mine two days ago and they, surprisingly clean strip of my aftermarket mods and both airbags. I'm sad to say, i'm telling my insurance to fix it and put everything Honda OEM parts. No more aesthetics!

This guy is going vigilante and if see suspicoius ***** stealing cars i'll beat them up even tho it's not my car he's messin wit!

Things are getting crazy, I was talking to one of the guys that does valet parking down in south beach. He has a red 91 nissan sentra 2dr. He told me one night he parked it in between and lexus and a bmw on collins ave. and they stold his car. Thieves don't care anymore, you could have a stock car with nothing but hubcaps and bondo all over the place and they'll still probably take it.

Try reporting it to the local authorities as "suspicious behaivior". If there have been a lot of complaints in your area, they may have somebody investigating. You could use your car as bait. Then we can watch it on Cops.

..ive lived here for a year and have never seen a body kitted EF full of asians males out here..
You guys are too paranoid. And that statement above is...

What if those guys were just leaving from their friend's house who lives down the block? What, asian people don't live where you're at? Riiiight.

Anyways, it would have been more suspicious if this was at around 2am. But just because a car with a few passengers decided to look at you, they're not automatically going to steal your car.

If you're that paranoid, then get an alarm system with multiple layers. And increase the comprehensive coverage on your insurance. Cuz if they REALLY want it that bad, it's as good as gone. At least with insurance, you'll be compensated back somewhat.

Keep your eyes open, but don't let it take over your life.

But then sometimes you just gotta shoot first and ask questions last.

Yea, when they're ON your car trying to jack it.

But shooting everyone who looks at you funny? Riiiiight.

[QUOTE] i see a EF hatchback full of guys coming out of street slowly..and as i turned in they were are all staring at me..ive lived here for a year and have never seen a body kitted EF full of asians males out here..QUOTE] That has happend to me before also. I just drive up to the car and talk to them. Ask them about their car, modes, etc... When they ask you what you have say "say i used to have a swap but the crank pulley broke, now I have a vx motor w/ naaawwwzzz " or some stuff like that. I bet you if you talk to them they are less likely to steal your car. Then warm them that you think people in the area are stealing cars and to watch out, then tell them you are ready for who ever it is with a .45 glock.
A little crazy goes a long way. ***** are your friend!
I heard through the grape vine that a kid was going to break into my car, so I went to his house. Just acked wierd and mental. He never broke into my car
Good Luck

that depends on your insurance company... i had mine stolen back in january 02... my insurance (state-farm) covered everything that i had receipts for (about $8k worth for parts, another $7k worth of damage to the vehicle)... but many smaller insurance companies won't cover your aftermarket stuff even if you do have receipts for them.
