When people on here talk about their "Si" getting stolen they are usually talking about the 99-00 Si. Those are the most stolen Honda's. Not the earlier ones.

Most of the theives that steal Civics can't tell the difference between a 92 Si hatchback and a 92 dx hatchback. Now, the 99-00 Si has the "DOHC VTEC" sticker, the Si emblem, the rims, and what not. I could do a 99-00 Front end conversion on my car(96 ex coupe), put the badges on and the "DOHC VTEC" sticker, and it would get jacked just like a regular Si.

Well yours is just a sticker. The 99-00 has that nice bright red "SI" on it. That is what they look for. That and the "DOHC VTEC" sticker.

no because it locks the wheel, if he drove off it would just drag the tire and eventually burn up and pop. but he would have to brake my steering wheel, and brake my clutch, and then figure out why the car wont start. aswell. so the only option is to tow it, and if i dont hear that **** coming then i deserve to get it stolen.. im lucky to have my car feets from me at home and at work. and i never go anywhere unless i have a view of my car in minutes....

yea im the one out shopping running through the store..haa haa

I think I had some UPS packages stolen from my house tonight. That alone pissed me off something fierce. I can't imagine if someone stole my hatch.

i am somtimes. i do have an alarm on my eg hatch though with starter kill and all that.

it doesn't matter if your car looks stock though. my car looks stock, but a lot of people know that its quick.

before you go to bed, do something to the car to where it won't start. take out the ecu fuse or something. my car isn't my daily driver, so i always have my other car parked behind it so it will be hard to get it out of the driveway when i'm away, since i have 3 cars, i usually have one car parked behind the civic when i leave.
if not, i'll take out a fuse or disconnect the dizzy or something so it won't start.

i don't know if it would be so much the car, it would be more the motor and the goodies that are on it.

i also have two german shepards by my car
