Thieves will always be thieves, they weren't raised any better trying to steal stuff from people that have worked hard for it. Anyways, I've seen a few of them that were stolen recoverys on salvage sites, but they will never be stolen like hondas cause there just isn't to many of them. Install an alarm on any car you're afraid that will get stolen.

 

Luckily I can park in a garage at night, this thread has me nervous

 

the way they steal the cars is they unlock a ecu and unplug the one in the car and plug theres in and break the ignition with a screw driver and start and drive away im from chicago and there was a group of thieves that stole a evo out of a garage its a hot target arount here i put a steering wheel lock on mine even in my garage its bs that there are ppl out there like this

 

If they want it bad enough....they'll take it. Lojack won't save you from a pro. Layers of security ensure that they will not want to bother with yours if there is an easier mark.

 

You can worry about that with anything.. You can only do so much to prevent it from being stolen. Mkae sure its in as safe as a place as possible and keep full coverage ins on it.

 

They stole my CRX that I busted my *** working for years ago I was in college, I went to class and when I came out there was a snapple bottle where my car was. to this day, if i EVER catch the F%CKER(S) that took it....only god knows what I would do to them.

Phew, sorry opened up an old wound, I hate thieves I would never steal from someone, but thieves should burn in hell, but I hate to say it, if theyre pros and they want it, theyre gonna take it

 

Honestly I would buy a small gps tracker if its at home install a camera with nightvision with a dvr recorder box to keep an eye on it along with a wheel boot lock with a fuel kill switch. If its towed it can be located if they steal it from you through low jack or high jack it can be located.

Also leave a motion sensor individo camera angled so that whoever goes around the car you can see them. If they start your car youll get a text on your phone that your **** is moving and you better go and get back.

 

F%CK THIEVES, They should be beaten about the skull with a tire iron!

 

yes thieves are the worst but I bet money they are the ones on this site researching anyways I thought lojack was all most the best security you could get!

 

I have no doubt they are.

 

I was afraid of this too. Thieves are everywhere so I bought a viper alarm system and had a friend of mine who works at Best Buy install it. He also put in Best Buy's screaming siren. If someone broke into my car, not only would the alarm go off but as soon as the thief sits in the driver seat, the siren would start screaming at a high enough pitch that if you're not wearing ear plugs it will blow your ear drums out in a matter of a minute or so. Best $20 investment I ever spent at Best Buy for the siren. The alarm was $400 but I paid $150 for it new.

I sat in the car with the alarm and siren going off and even covering up your ears with your hands, it's still stupidly loud.

 

I bet your neighbors love you.

Just so you know, the professional car thieves will bypass your alarm.

You're going to want to layer your security, dude. I would consider looking into a momentary contact kill switch in addition to your alarm. Also a garage (where possible) and if that's not available, a wheel boot as mentioned above.

A general rule of thumb is to stay paranoid.

 

the best way to protect your evo is with insurance................

 

so if this is happening, everyone there should switch to E85 because their unlocked ecu wont be programmed for the 30% more fuel and the car simply will not start lmao....

 

I agree 100% if your car is stock or if you pay extra every month for performance insurance that will cover the cost of aftermarket parts.
