All that stuff and no alarm????? Where was it taken from?

 

Lets face it. An alarm probably wouldn't have helped all that much. If someone wants it bad enough their going to get it.

 

at least with an alarm...there is a possible chance where it could have alert him of the situtation..and gave him a chance to save his car.

 

what is the point of those wanna be JDM EK bumper moldings on the back, and on the wheel side of the front bumper?



an alarm is the first thing your supposed to do when you get a new car. my guess is OP was show boating in his new car, and caught someone attention.

 

how does it get stolen if you took the steering wheel off?I take it you forgot?best of luck man.

 

The new **** to do is just tow the car.

 

See this is one of the reasons I got out of the Honda scene back in the day, everyone just hates on each other. Here, another guy who likes Honda's got his S*%& stolen and everyone just throws out comments ******* him and his car. Well anyways, I feel for you man I had a pickup stolen a few years back (on a military base even). Nothing is safe these days. I'm not in OH but i'm in PA so semi close. If I see a rex runnin around with bride seats (cant be many of them lol) then i'll run them off the road or something for ya.

 

im not "*******" his car. its a legitimate question, what are the purposes of those parts? i had my rex stolen last year, and got it back in one piece, i wish him the best of luck in getting it back.

 

well one alarms dont work u can pop the hood from the bumper and cut the horn wire eazy to do and stering wheel wat cupple allen screws and put a stock one one! wat u need to do is put a hidden kill swich or starter button on the roof off the car or were u have to hold ur hi beams to start it or have a key lock to the fuel pump i have all these in my car plus take out the ecu, but like one guys says they want it they can get it! i had my rex stoleen with a fully built and brand new sir b16 and they drove it off a 1foot curb and put a hole in the header so they thought they belw it up and parked it 30 min away took cd dek and ecu! but they drove a suv on the side walk on a bizzy road heavely trafficed by cops and blooked it with the suv and stole it! found out who did it to they have a big chunk missing out ther arm wont be doing that **** agine its one thing to steel a ipod or gps but when u got to go to work and instead deal with ur love missing and sumthing u put 100 hours in to and 1000 of bucks u tend to get anoid and not wanting anuther car_ if u get it back put a japan only ignition and the keys ar dif then usa keys so be lot harder to take

 

i never show anything i have done to my car, i go to a few meets every weekend and i park my car farther away, roll up the windows, and lock the doors. thats it. no showboating or carrying on how i think my car beats everyone cause it cant. its slow. my theory is probably someone followed me from the meet and speculated i had more done to it engine wise.i posted the parts so if anyone sees someone selling them they can contact the police to help further the investigation. most likely though its long gone. thanks TJchad, i would rather have it off the road than someone going around commiting crimes in it, i guess thats what the cops said they like to do in stolen vehicles. personally i think its gonna get stripped of its parts. new MO is gonna be alarm first mod and not a single emblem or decal on the car ever. faceplate off and steering wheel hub with a locker when the wheel is removed. also that kill switch sounds like a good idea

 

also pay attention when going home if you feel someones following you drive to the pd iv done that before and people dont want to go there i just chilled bs'd on my phone and eventually the car left good luck op hope to hear some decent news

 

so uh, instead of ripping this guy a new *** hole about the things he didn't do to protect his car, lets help him find it....

 

Man i hate to say it down south is the best place to have and import it doesnt get stolen. And people think r rice burners yall should move here all people like here is big wheels and caprice classic. i can leave my keys in my car at the movie theatre. Everybody is bunched up together thats why car dont survive. Now ur project is someone's treasure.

 

sooooo...no bashing for this thread being in the wrong section?

I'll do it
sorry to hear about your car, BUT this is the TECH section .

 

i posted here because this section gets more views

 

The title made me laugh...sorry about your car though

 

Well alarms do work to an extent. As far as the sirens, they can cut the one that is normally in the engine bay. But me myself I have 3 sirens in my bay and 2 more hidden, 1 of which is battery operated. So if you take it further than a standard siren your car will attract some attention when it gets tripped.

 

Only way an alarm does not work, is when the owner is cheap and buys a shitty alarm and a cheap install.

Get a good alarm and an even better install.

 

What a Heartless ****

 

psst..please. dont make me laugh

theres no tech in this thread just another victim of theft, oh well get over it
all you're going to see are " sorry to hear", " that sux ", " buy a gun" etc....BS post.

there's like 30-40 " my car got stolen" threads big deal, you drive a honda someone is always trying to steal ur car its either you're man enough to accept it or you buy yourself a geo metro.

 

 

There's so many tricks to deal with an alarm. Anyone with experienced in dealing with this can get past it. And most of the good people work in teams.

Trick one the usual pop the hood cut the horn or whatever. No one really cares about alarms because they always seem to go off and when you're trying to sleep they all sound alike.

Trick two actually open the door, alarm goes off, close it... but not all the way. Chances are it's at night dude looks from a far see's it's closed. They reset it because they think something tripped it. You give it a bit and then go back.

Also it takes people who are sleeping time to get ready and go out.

Most of the thieves are owners of hondas or familiar with ways. So they carry spares of fuses, ecu's, steering wheels etc that is tooken out. Chances are it's not the first time they've seen your car. Hell they probably know your whole procedure lol. It's not like there's that many different detachable things around. One time I went to the honda dealership, me and three of their workers had the same detachable hub or whatever. One had his car in a magazine. Also always detaching your wheel gets annoying and it a hassle taking it to some places. Some places you can't take it.

Yeah that's true well it's been done for a while. Still it's too much time and attention. Sometimes I think that's a wives tale because if that was so, wouldn't cops notice that there's a bunch of hondas being put on flatbed or whatever tow truck?

 

Hey man sorry, I've had a car stolen before. It sucks, being new here, I can't believe how much crap people are giving you. I've never had that happen! Hope you get it back, I'm in Florida so probably no chance it gets down here.

 

all the flamers should ask themselves if there car got stolen wouldnt you spread the word in case somebody saw it or its parts being sold? the more people are looking for it the better the chances it will be found, even though its probably chopped and never to be found again. i've accepted its probably gone for good but you never know. plus it has more sentimental value more than the parts are worth to me. if you dont appreciate what im trying to do then STFU.
