Default Ever heard of someone breaking into a teg w/out breaking glass?

My 1995 GSR just got broken into and the the thief stole my cd stereo deck, my amp, and all my cds I had stored in the car. My alarm went off, but there seems to be no forced entry, no broken glass, or anything. My windows weren't rolled down and my car was def locked with my alarm armed. How could they break in?

a slimjim... maybe
i think thats what theyre called.
it slides between the glass and the door. Thats what locksmiths use when u lock ur keys in ur car.

as dc2nick said it could of been a slimjim.

But another security measure you should look into is rerouting your hood latch cable. Becuase it runs over your driver side tire behing the fenderliner. Reroute it to the inside of the bay.

It unfortunately isn't terribly difficult to get into an Integra without breaking the glass. For the sake of security though, the methods really shouldn't be discussed in a public forum.

Its relatively simple to get into a DC integra without breaking glass...i had to get into my last integra a few times when my alarm/CL was playin up and locked my keys in the car. Takes minutes if you know what to do.

there are too many ways to get in... when i locked my keys in the car and called AAA, the guy had an abnormally difficult time getting in using two different methods... and one of them was using a slim jim... the other i won't get into... but sorry for your loss

i feel your pain.. i bought my gsr 3 weeks ago... after 8 days of owning it.. my deck was stolen in a church parking lot.. it was a nice kenwood one that came with the car too.. not stock..

after that day i unhooked my power door lock switches and i just use my alarm remote... you could try that or you could try looking at the power door lock relay article they had at team-integra.net

thats right. what renegadez707 said about the master key. there is also another car maker( i wont say the name because some thieves that dont know would learn ) key that they also use. you have to keep on your toes. one step in front them. these guys know what they are doing. they even come with tow trucks. day time, night time, does not matter to them. if they want it they will find away to take it . good luck

all they need to do is flex the window and reach inside to unlock the door. pretty easy i'v done it a few times to my car because it autolocks.....and when im washing my car i forget sometimes my keys are in there becuase i like having music on! lol well if theivs broke into my car and stole everything i'd rather them not brake the window because that coast more $$

sounds like an ms13 method, my buddys 99 civic si was stolen from arundel mills in maryland by a gang called ms13 who are known for stealing only hondas. when they found the car the officers said that they actually somehow got there arm in to unlock the door threw the windsheild because the windshield seal was missing, how about that.

all hondas are keyable, all they do is file the key down and it pretty much opens any honda or acura. when they broke into my car it was lock with viper alarm and auto lock and they still stole my head unit, when i come out to go to work my car was lock but the alarm wasnt working i didnt realize they stole my head unit intill i got in the car ...

its called the coat hanger method.

slowly peel the rubber on top of the window, and make it so that its inside the window. (top of gass)

then place a rag over the paint, with a flathead, stick it in the window and peel the window out about 1 or so inch.

when a bent coat hanger, reach in and pull the unlock switch up and ur done man...

but if u were a thief, u woud skip the the rubber and rag part and just peel the window.

No offense but I think they've figured it out by now. And what he said doesn't really affect the car getting stolen, just the damage done to it.

Since our cars usualy just end up as parts, they'll just break the window
