I am interested in this as well. I mean why does it cost $90 to get a key made a Mitsu vs. a home depot key or whatever? Anyone have info on the immoblizer our cars are suppose to have? I have a Ravelco.....so I sleep good at night. I guess these people stealing Evos are selling the parts? It's not easy to swap parts like a non VTec motor honda to a VTEC motor or a 1.8 liter GSR Motor to a civic hatch..... I'm just blown away at how many of these cars are getting stolen...if they are truly being stolen!

EDIT: I find it strange that most stolen Evos are evo 8's too......
Granted the 9's haven't been out long but I am sure a thief knows the diffrence.

Thanks all. I didnt have an alarm. I only had a bov, and downpipe, plug and play hids. The worst part was the stuff inside. All my books for aviation school which cost an arm and a leg, my really nice camera, emergency stash, sunpass, poker chips, cds, and much more. Thanks for all the support,

-Matt

I am really sorry to hear about this I looks like you babied the hell out of your car.
Have you talked with your insurance company yet?
After reading a few of these threads I am really starting to believe the immobilizer is BS and it was just a gimmick to make people feel safer.

It is. Don't let the Immobilizer feature on your car give you a false sense of security. You have to layer security. As with Honda's Immobilizer system, Mitsubishi's is apparently fairly trivial to bypass.

why follow someone home when you can go on this very forum, read about every every after market part someone has purchased, see all the nice pictures they took with their nice camera, and talked about how they don't have lojack / security system installed?

just a thought....
