Default be on the look out...

Today this mourning, I was getting ready for school.I looked out my window( I do this every mourning to check if my car's still there) and I saw this green eg outside of my house parked on the street checking out my eg. So I came out to see what sup, once I got out he took off. So I was thinking to myself, maybe the guy just like to see other ppl's eg. So I left to school, once I got to my school there was no more parking left so I parked in the neighborhood across the street. Once I parked and locked it up, I saw this same eg in the corner of my eye. So I turned around and I looked at him. He looked and me, well he actually daw'd me. My friend was with me and he was like "That guy wants trouble" and I was like yea. After a good 2 minute stare down, my friend told me to go tell the office so I did. The office called 5-o and the 5-o came to my school to asked me the story, I told him everything I saw and what I know about the green eg. After that the cop told me "Im going to guard your car for a few hour, if anything happens im going to call the school to tell you." so i was like
"****, this cop is going to guard my car. aite!"

After 15mins the cop called me and told me they caught the guy. The cop told me he was waiting for his gf in front of my house and he parked next my car in this neighborhood because he was waiting for his gf again. I was like "so you let him go?" and the cop told me "Yes, because he didn't do anything wrong yet" but the cop also told me "he's in my computer so if anything happens, we'll know"

So yea, if you live in the OC area be on the look out for a green eg lowered but not slammed with some gay rims and front end damage. I think this guy is doing more then "Waiting for his GF" he is asian and he's bald around 20 years of age.

tell me what you think? total bs?

Does your alarm have a flashing LED..

If so it will help deter thieves a little, not saying all.. but the common thieve wants an easy job and is not willing to go thru the haggle of messing with an alarm unless they're wanting to take the car. which in this case they might want to.

If i were you right now would be the proper time to take extra steps in security.. like wire in a fuel pump kill switch, or pull fuses , detachable steering wheel..

Try to make it hard as possible, but no matter what if they want the car they will get it.

Thats a pretty bad-*** cop you got there. Someone actually broke into and tried to steal my car, and I didn't even get as good of a response as you did. Maybe that cop is a honda guy...haha.

But on another note, it's not enough to just have an alarm. You need it done right. Not your sweet local car/audio place or your bestbuy kind of install. That won't do sh*t.

Yea after the latest ht meet here in dfw there have been a few thefts so were in the process of putting up cameras around the house and we also have four pits and they are the perfect dog if you want a guard dog in the car at night. Yea def. keep watch.

That guy does want to steal your car. Obviously he made up the story about waitinfg for his girlfriend. Get a wheel boot & more security.

Any Plate Info on the Green hatch? I am always watching out for people that might be following me. Ive had about 4 attempts on my car, and thanks to some good luck and then a great alarm install, I still have my ride.

If I suspect that someone has made the same turn by turn with me, for a mile or more, I'll make a couple random turns to see if they follow. Nobody has yet. But I suspect just about everyone. When you daily drive your modified honda, you need to be suspicious of everyone at all times.

Thieves will rarely drive another honda when they're scopping. It would be stupid to do so. Anyways, if I were you, I'd be pulling sensors and ecu's, fuses, and maybe your Dizzy too; at least for the next few weeks. Keep your windows and hood clean, and every morning, look for prints.

hahahaha that's classic!
but anyway, i guess having an alarm helps somewhat. do you have a quick release steering wheel? pulling fuses & what not might help too, but like someone had already said, if they really want your car, they will</u> get it. even if they gotta tow it . good luck though.

If someone wants your car bad enough and they have enough knowledge they can/will get it.But there are a lot of things you can do to prevent it.Best thing to do is get lojack.
