Sell the ITR for a 1988 Ford Tempo. You couldn't pay somebody to take it.

What they said above... but more realistically:

A: remove your locaton in your profile
B: get an alarm with a pager
C: layer secuity.. alarm.. hoodlock.. fuel cut-off.. etc.
D: lojack is cool
E: don't take it anywhere, where you cannot see it or check on it quickly
F: late night movies and malls are a no-no

The best system is having many. Garage if possible, alarm, autolock/club, kill switch, lo-jack. It is impossible to have a 100% theft proof car, but each thing you do for security increases your chances.

Honestly...I never worry about it. I've been EVERYWHERE in my R. I've been to Jungle parties in South Central LA, where the secutity has gats and pitts, and parked it on the muthafuckin' street! I've been to Mexico, Yosemite, S.F., Vegas, Parker, Mead, Compton Swap Meet, Echo Park, Silverlake, Hollywood, S.B. County, Inglewood (what what), skid row, the backalleys of downtown LA and all ova OC. No one ever messes with it. Maybe I'm lucky, I sure don't look ruff and ready. I think it's just karma. I never do anyone wrong and I never get screwed, just tested. The wost thing that has EVER happened was a 2 foot key and it's not like I care.

The only place that I think it will get taken is from my house. That's why I have:

house alarm.
rottweiler.
someguy living in the garage.
motion lights.
imobilizer.
alarm.
lo jack.
Louisville slugger (no gun, killing is against my nature)

and I never let anyone that has ANY relation to "the scene" (I hate that word) know where I live. I have a P.O. box for any work orders and it is registered in another state!

nuff respect.

Three options:

A: Buy different rims that hide the lugs, take off the wing, buy RS mirrors, take out the interior and say that you have an Integra Type RS.

B: Rice it out totally. With stickers all over, ugly rims, different color fenders....etc...

C: Forget it, Keep it in the garage because these cars go like hot cakes.

yeah... he drops BOMBS! But, he's fully trained to bomb on the grass.

He graduates from school on thursday. YAY! I think he might get "Best In Class". Last class he was the only one to do a sit stay for 1 min and a down stay for 3 min! I'm so proud. It was all off leash too. After this it's time for the advanced class and then the "K9 Good Citizen Test". He rocks.

Do whatever it takes so that they cant get inside your car. If they cant get in, they wont spend that much time on it and move on.
