Sorry if this is a repost.

I agree, and I'm guilty of that myself. We don't know who's trolling these boards.
Time to be a lot more careful from know on.
Hiding in the cave sounds like a pretty good idea right about now.

Yet another reason to worry about my car. It is sad but true.

I would be comfortable with cops checking VIN's on imports such as ours even on minor convictions. A VIN database used by officers would definately be a step in the right direction for detering theift.

Re: (py1188)
Taking **** from good hard working people is the kinda trash that no one should have to deal with. ****** thieves.... I wish that I had some thing "worthwhile" to contribute to this other than ranting but I guess there is nothing to do at time besides that.

Re: (Nytemare)
This is sad for people like us that work so hard to get the car we want and the work that we have doing to the car to get it how we want it. And thieves just come and take it away from us to make easy money or for their own use.

Let 'em come for my car, I'm ready : Pulls out gun: 
As for showing mine off... How the hell am I supposed to hide a PY R in Brooklyn NY???
Anyway I will enjoy my caR everyday until I wreck it beyond repair or it's stolen.
There is not much I can do to protect it if thief's are this hardcore.
whatever...

It's after reading **** like this I realize how good it is to live in Norway where theft is nearly a non-issue, over here most people don't even know what a ITR is. Which is fine by me so I get to enjoy owning one without all the fears you americans get as a side effect of ownership.

Damn, that article is crazy. Didn't think theives would be that prominent at car shows? Makes R owners just a lil more paranoid doesn't it?
F**k theives. They should all die.

One more reason not to go to the dragstrip.
I've known not to go to shows for the same reason. People will jack your ****.
This used to happen to people when I competed in IASCA sound off events in the early 90s. Thieves were everywhere - looking for high end stereo systems to jack.
Moral to the story: don't advertise
