You mean the rear-most rear-door window?

For those of us who rarely have backseat passengers, keeping the rear door child-proof locks enabled could be a simple deterrant. Well, it's either a deterrant or you end up with both the rear AND the front door windows smashed...

Is there something you could pull off in the engine bay that would prevent it from starting? I know an alarm is a must byt there has to be something we can do to either slow down the process or prevent it from happening

My advise is always Layer the security, previously owning an Integra this was pretty mainstream no matter where you lived. Those cars would get picked like flowers.

Fuel Pump and Ignition Kill Switches, Decent Alarm, GPS Tracking, etc...

Park the car in a way where it can not easily be pushed, pulled, or dragged.

You may be able to deter thieves but as always if they really want it they'll get it.

Pretty much anyone with 30-60min of internet reading can steal an evo these days

Yea that sucks. Sounds like what was/is happening in the Chicago area too.

Like I said it's pretty damn easy to steal an EVO these days. Doesn't take much of a "professional" to be honest.

Pretty simple don't really need a diagram.

Get yourself a 12V/10 or 20amp switch from Radio Shack or alike and some 14 gauge wire, use a multimeter to find what is key on power to fuel pump in the harness (Dont remember off top of the head), splice switch into wire. Done

Make sure you know where you want to mount the switch first so you can cut the two lengths of wire to length.

Works flawless every time

People are getting desperate. Just the other day I took my car out and somebody tried stealing my lip off my car. While I don't live in the area I know a couple people that do so ill let them know plus keep an eye on Craigslist.
