when I bought this car the dealership told me they have a security chip like mercedes/bmw and them so its close to impossible. I am just wondering if it has started if so I am going to hide my car from now on
Take this as your rule of thumb:
If they want it, nothing is going to stop them from getting it. It sucks, but its true.
Case in point, my friend had a Civic Si with a decent alarm, and within 30 minutes someone had taken the rims, body cladding, interior trim, and the B16 engine. The best part, there were no signs of forced entry. Just keep an eye on your EVO...

The reason I moved over to MITSUBISHI is becuase my honda was taken from me! trust me I know that they can get them easily. I am just wondering if what my friend is telling me is true or not...
alarms mean nothing, if your into cars you should know this, guy i do business with has aporsche in his driveway 24/7/365, no alarm, no point, people do knwo what their doing, its scary, and im paranoid because of it

I've searched for stolen Evo's on this site and all I could find was they were broken into. I didn't really find any stolen (except by someone from the dealership - internal work).
So far if you ask me, it's a good thing, not too many stolen. There's always going to be some.
I was on Nasioc the other day reading about stolen WRXs/STis and it was scary. I really feel bad for those people.
Hope Evo will be of less interest.
The only theft device I would like to have in my car is Mul-T-Lock or Defend lock which can not be bought in USA.
Mut-T-Lock website sucks but here's the defend lock:

Alarms I don't trust. This is a mechanical lock for the gear shifter and is welded to the car which would take a thief a lot longer to disable.
