"(AP) DETROIT The 1999 Acura Integra coupe was the most-stolen vehicle last year and Integras from other model years weren't far behind, likely the targets of street racers who want their fast engines, according to a report released Tuesday."

the type r picture added a nice touch, but these things will always be stolen, not much you can do except not drive it and leave it in your garage..

 

No ITRs in 99

Did you see the next paragraph of the sentence?

Integras from other model years weren't far behind

 

Yes I saw it and you didnt need to post it twice, your point is? I was being sarcastic, dont get your little virgin E-panties in a bunch.

 

Sorry about the double posting, but don't worry, my pants have not bunched up yet, but thanks anyway E-thug.

Anyways, this whole story is far from news, Integra's are at or near the top of these lists every year, does not matter if the 99 was extra popular this time, R's disappear at an alarming rate in USA. Just take a look at the first page in this forum

 

Here it is too...

8 of the top 16 places are taken by different year Integra's

 

 

if a company made B series replicas and sell a little above street price. maybee the theft would slow down.

Dart is pretty expensive.

not that its practical tho

 

Alarm + Dog + Garage = Safe enough for me to retrieve shotgun and fire off warning shot.

Realistically, I just try to enjoy the car as much as I can. I know it is a losing battle with thieves; if they really want it that bad, nothing will stop them. So I just have fun with my car for whatever remaining time I have with her. They can take my car, but they cannot take the time and enjoyment I had with her.

""Unfortunately, if somebody really wants to steal your car, they're going to steal it," Spencer said. "That's pretty hard to avoid." "


but true..

 

not much you can do.
Thats what insurance is good for.

 

Man, I hope i catch someone trying to steal my type r, it will not look pretty

 

If the way that the theft rate is going and nobody is doing nothing to stop it, by the end of next year or the year after there may be no more R's left to buy.

 

saw it on GMA this morning..........

 

im always vigilant esp now in the mid of the summer season
nice weather = thieves heaven

 

No ****?

 

I saw that on MSNBC also. Even though the R wasn't sold in 1999, the GSR motors still command a good profit and probably come under less scrutiny (spl?) than the R motors.

 

good thing no one thinks my car is a real R.

 

I saw this list today on UNIVISION (spanish channel) ... not surprised but still sucks for those of us that have are Integras
