Last night i came home around midnight, went up stairs straight to bed. Car was locked, all windows up, sunroof closed. 6:50 am my dad comes upstairs wakes me up says my trunk is wide open. We go outside and check...my full size spare's gone. I have two sets of oem wheels and I leave one in my trunk for a spare. I open the unlocked door. My sony cd player's gone. Look down at my shifter. My skunk 2 type r shift ****'s gone. And to take the cake they took then little cubby that goes under my cd player no i have a gaping whole in my dash...People who steal really **** me off

actually, all the parts he listed are pretty much universal. believe me... when someone jacks **** off of cars, it doesnt go to their car. they sell that **** and then buy something for their car or for something else.

just a couple weeks ago a 4th gen prelude down the steet got broken into and it's intake, shifter, and plug wires were stolen. and the next night my car was broken into , but since i'm a nighthawk and don't go to bed till about 4 in the morning. i was able to catch them redhanded and run them off, they got away but nothing was stolen from my car. i talked to the police about it and they thought i had stolen from the kids car down the street because i have a garage full of parts for a prelude. i'm sorry to hear about your car man, just be thankful you can drive it and have it in your position still.

Thieves are a bunch of A-holes....... uneducated kids with nothing better to do. At least they didn't take your whole car away.

Will a stock 16 inch rim fit where the spare does?
That would be sweet

slim jims slip in between the window and the door panel. you just latch the end of it to the locking mechanism and yank.... that unlocks with out any damage. the screwdriver on the other hand.... slip that at the top of the window with a cloth and just pop it down. that busts the window regulator and you can just push the window down.

slim jims can be bought at a hardware store, also a 12 inch flat head screw driver and a coat hanger can unlock any door, , i know because i've had friends lock their keys in their cars.

there is a plastic shield on my prelude that covers the short area where the 'rod' runs in the 'middle' of the door as a safety precaution to prevent this - just one of the things i noticed when i took my interior door panels off - i have a fourth gen

hopefully i will never catch anyone stealing anything from me. I am very arrogant and self-righteous. i do believe i would kill them on the spot if i had something i could do it with. or at least beat them with in an inch of their life.

some people might say that my property is not worth a person's life. I believe that someone who accords so little respect to their fellow humans as to willfully destroy something that they worked hard for isn't really a human being.

basically, if i catch you with your pants down, i have complete and total authority over you.
