Probably had a crooked or stupid dealer make a copy of the key by the VIN. It also could have been towed away. My money is on the latter.

Re: (ballerchild)

towed or got hooked up by honda employee with the ebrake code to started the car (might sound weird but there is a code to start some cars like this).

The e-brake hack doesn't start the car. It only disables the immobilizer. You still need a key that physically fits the ignition or the like.

Re: (aznvietboi87)

Yeh thats true I work for acura and their is a way to start the car by using the brake and pumping it a certain amout of times. I know you can do that with intgras but i don know about rsx's. But its only a one time shot if you stall your done.
