Just wondering, would removing the ECU be pretty good? =P

It's easy really, just put "This car is wired to explode" stickers all over it.

probably, but if the thieves know what you have (and if they steal hondas a lot), could be possible they have a common ecu thatll run your car.

kill switches are good, should be able to find lots of threads about them. but if a theif wants your car theyre gonna get it

Move to South Central, Kentucky. No one steals cars here, because no one knows what is nice to steal

best way is a garage, like others said. i leave my delsol at my parents in their garage, and my si hatch stays in my garage at the apartment, and my truck i leave parked under a light in the driveway at my parents house, and my dad is a light sleeper and owns a 9mm that he keeps beside the bed, so i feel pretty safe about it also. i realize most people aren't as lucky as i am to have garage spots, when i go out to town, to eat/shop or whatever, i try to park my car where i can kinda keep an eye on it(not always possible) one more thing, i know this sounds goody two shoes, or good samaritan or whatever, but get to know your neighbors very well, help them do projects and whatnot like mowing, you'll be amazed at how much that'll help if they're keeping an eye out on your property in addition to you.

You know funny you say, buy a geo metro. I'm not even kidding when I say this but someone broke into my brothers Geo Metro lol.

Alarm, kill switches and a garage does help but that still won't stop a thief. Just keep your eye out and remember your surroundings even if you have an alarm.

Take your engine out every night, and leave it inside.

Ok seriously, alarm that is installed WELL. Like all wires hidden with factory and the brain in a very inconvenient location. GPS tracking, (Lo-Jack or Viper) kill switches, remove the ECU, detachable steering wheel, radio, dead bolted doors... layers upon layers is your best bet.

Or just make your car look like a complete piece of **** like me, then no one will notice.

well as for a garage goes, if he's in ur garage, he's in ur house, shoot the ******...

'bout a week ago the cops were warning people that soem houses were getting robbed in the area, I asked him if it was better to drop him with a .38 or .44 - he said it "either or, just drag him into your house afterwards"

lmao seriously though the best option is a detachable steering wheel with a cover to lock over the hub. That is you're first line of defense
pm me for more tips.....
The key is layers
