if someone really wants it that bad they can take it. But our cars have electronic keys and it's a pretty good theft deterant. but like I said if they want it, they will take it. You can put kill switches and alarm to try to stop them.

any car can be stolen no matter how sophisticated the security system is. look at gone in 60 seconds. heheh

seriously, there is no theft prevention. if the guy wants your car bad enough, he'll get it. the best thing u can do is theft deterrant. the thief doesn't even need to get into your car to steal it. look at the repo guys. they take cars for a living. all they do is take the tow truck and lift out your car and tow it away.

a good deterent is an alarm + few kill switches. the best idea is always to get layers of protection. my old civic(wit b16a) was almost stolen a few times, but they never got it thanks to the alarm and kill switches. if they want it bad enough they will get it. not many of the new honda cars are gettin stolen though( less popularity + immobilizers imo). evo's and sti's are the new itr in terms of theft.

yea really sickens me how ppl steal stuff that's hot. a friend's neighbor got his stock bbs rims stolen off his sti. bet he was majorly pissed.

if they want your car, all they have to do is get a chain and a flatbed truck. there's nothing u can do to prevent that.

Ok, the real question is how skilled does the thief need to be to steal an RSX?

19 year old punks with a coat hanger and screw driver outnumber skilled thieves 50 to 1. (fewer pros to go around)

An RSX is unlikely to be stolen by an amateur, whereas the G3 integras were stupid easy to steal.

edit: without a flatbed.
