27 cars stolen this wekend, and more than 40 breakins at NOPI
Well thieves almost got my car at NOPI this weekend. Broke in and snapped my igniton cylinder off my steering column. They took all the insides of it and we couldnt hot wire it. They were seriously so close to stealing it. Another 30 seconds and it would have been gone. Good thing was they didnt steal anything out of the car.???.. Here are te pictures. Anyone have any ideas on what part this is and how much it might cost...?



Just got my alarm put on and everyhting. I already got the NRG Release hub, that will be going on this week.

 

what year is your car?? i guess it depends on where you are as the price but i have one for 92-95 civic ill let go for $75. pm me if you are interested. you will need to buy the break off bolts to replace the part from the dealership.

 

youve still got your car. now add security. because next time you wont be so lucky. heres a link.. if you havent read it before, you should:

That's just plain stupid.

 

this happened at nopi parking lot? or at the telly you were staying?

 

did you have the quick release steering wheel on/in the car at the time of this. or is this not a quick release.

 

wow, same situation like socal's eibachs meet last year. Alot of cars got broken into too. Damn theives...

 

jesus christ i would never think it would happen at such a well advertised place with so many people...

if this really is the case and it happens all the time i hope that Nopi and other organizations will spend some money on some sort of patroling security because if this happens often it will hurt their attendence.

 

ignition key lock cylinder

 

thanks for the replies guys...i had the alarm in but they pulled the wire off the battery, with no one seeing them?...i dint have he detachable hub in yet. i put it on today...i hate thieves.... cant work for your own **** ... i think im ordering a whole new one from honda tomorrow, so well see how it goes,...thanks guys...
BTW..that was all at the parking lot of budds creek...wheres the security???

 

damn that sucks but ur very lucky that they didnt finish what they started

 

damn not another one

 

thats an ek i can tell by the interior, eg civics never had that coin tray thing, anywyas do you guys leave your cars over at nopi over night?

 

damn, hope everything works out.

 

no. i was in the event on saturday..and we got there at like 330, i came out to my ca at about 945 at it was like this...im so lucky and i hope this never happens to anyone else

 

ur lucky......someone must have scared them off

 

Yeah the metal thing hanging is called the ignition lock cylinder,,and the black thing with the wires hanging is called an ignition switch,,but it seems then took the white plastic pieice with the tumbler (???) Also note they stuck a large pry bar or screw driver between the lock cylinder and the piece it's mounted to,,broke the plastic and bent the metal where it was mounted..After the 3rd time they broke the ignition on my car i just left it hanging..there was no point replacing it or even locking the FUkin doors anymore

Was there anything wrong with the outside of the car? molding pealed? hole under the door handle? or window off the slide? That really sucks and i wonder why they didnt steal it..


BTY that's how it is at e-town nj at the big import events only...it really sucks so much i don't even own a honda anymore.
With yours it doesnt look like you need a whole new ignition switch/wire harness,,you just need the actual switch and the white cover then clean and regrease the contacts..

 

im jus curious, what did you wire up to that red switch to do? haha, it looks cool

 

seriously, i don't know what i would do if i ever caught theives stealing anything in my car, or my car itself. I bet that i would probably lose it and that would mean problems for the potential theif.

 

oh, ill tell you...those guys are lucky i didnt catch them...they had hell to pay..

 

read the write up that was posted at the top. Also make sure you add a backup battery next time. This will keep the alarm working and the siren going off. It will also set of the alarm in the battery is disconnected. Make sure to mount the siren in the fender.

 

dude ur lucky..... my car was stolen last tuesday the 15th it was a turbo B16 eg hatch i live 10 mins from MIR in leonardtown theres been alot of thefts lately around here ... its bullshit

 

damn, that's some crazy stuff. I'm surprised nobody saw a thing?!

Does anyone else have any info on this? Im sorry to hear about what happened. Thankfully I stopped attending NOPI events about 7-8 yrs ago. This is what reminds me that its not worth it. F_ck Thieves!!!!
