Default Somewhat OT:Getting back into Honda world. Is S2000 as high of theft as ITR?

For those of you that may remember I had both of my integras ( one 98' itr. and one 95' gsr ) stolen april of last year. I have been driving other cars since then but am returning to hondas. Have been looking into S2000s. Are they as high of a theft as ITRs? as integras? Interested in purchasing an S2000 but last night my friends 05' s2k was stolen.

Thanks for help

Mods please move to S2000 forum if this belongs there.

I know slashing the top just to steal the seats have been a big problem in the past....

i don't think there are near the concerns with owning an S2K as there are owning an ITR, but i could be wrong.

Still thinking...thanks for all the info guys. Definently get the hardtop if i buy one.

What does the F-series fit in? anything other than s2k? It isnt nearly as desirble correct?

Umm an AE86. And a couple months ago on ebay some guy managed to get one in a civic. Otherwise it's not very desirable. Like others mentioned the only parts people want off the s2k are the seats, cluster and shiftknob. Seat locks + hardtop will solve all of your problems.

seat locks wont help a damn thing...

if you got a hardtop and they broke into that to steal your seats, the only thing the seatlocks will do is **** them off....

the only reason there isnt as many s2k thefts is because there arent as many compatable parts with civics/integras. the itr has all the most desirable goodies stock. and its the easist to break into. nuff said.
