I believe accords are number 2-3 on the highest stolen vehicles next to camry.

I would either suggest parking inside, use your alarm (or buy one...its a noise maker if anything) or have full insurance just to be on the safe side .

At this point if they want it there gonna take it, point blank.

They dont care what you got. You wanna protect it, stick it up your a$$ when your not driving it.

if someone wants something bad enough, they WILL get it, not matter what u do (short of killing them)......its all about where u live, and where u store your car....

sure, there are hundreds of stories of 6th gen accords being stolen, just like for any other car on the road

and the reason soo many hondas/toyotas are stolen, is that theres SOO many of them on the road, so if the same percentage of accords is stolen as of ferarris, there will be ALOT more accords than ferraris stolen

Just get a switch and run it to the fuel pump, so the car will start, run for a sec, then sputter and die . You could get one of those ignition boxes (like the crane cams one) that has a anti-theft switch that you mount somewhere in your car, or maybe an alarm with a starter-kill switch.

Anyone that can bypass an alarm could bypass any of those too

True, but most kids who steal cars don't know how to bypass alarms, and they will feel real ****** dumb when the car sputters and dies. Plus if the switch is well hidden they will probably give up and leave, and go steal the next car they see. Unless the car is really something special, they won't bother with taking all that time to bypass alarms and tear through wiring, isn't it much easier to steal the car sitting down the street? Now if your dealing with professional car thieves, then, your pretty much screwed . But how often do professional car thieves jack cars that are worth less then $20K?

The fact of the matter is, if they want it they will get it
