although the OP should have searched, thats kinda harsh. but seriously OP, they aren't stolen much because nothing can really be used for other cars. The immobilizer system does work pretty well against your common civic/integra thieves. get an alarm, and if you don't have an alarm I would suggest doing what kingh90 did even if everyone else advises against it. Keep your doors UNLOCKED with nothing inside. that way you won't have a gouged door or window.

where i live people LOVE sticking h22's into other cars even CRX's with h22s, mounts are welded and cut axles so it fits so im always paranoid about leaving it ANYWHERE. Get a couple switches to cut off ignition/fuel/etc. make it hard to steal and a good alarm even better a 2-way alarm and put on at least a steering wheel lock (even though they dont REALLY work, it might help convincing a thieve not to bother with it

just dont like brag to everyone about those new JL subs u got. and get the VIPER alarm that wen someone opens ur door or hits it hard, ur key fob will vibrate and beep. it also has a bright blue light in the car that flashes. so it looks like its hard to steal

how about a quick release for a steering wheel? They can't steal a car without a steering wheel.

They can with a repo truck. Chances are , it is just gonna get stripped down and parted out. If they want it bad enough, they will get it.

They get stolen, but it's a rarity.
Just don't buy a civic or integra and dump **** loads of money into it.
