Default Who has had an SC stolen or broken in to?

A kid at my work just had his Integra stolen and one of the reasons I bought my SC a few weeks ago was security as compared to say...a Honda. So who here has had their car broken in to or stolen. Anything to help avoid this beyond the obvious alarm and what not?

I am just about to put my car under the knife with interior work and ill be installed an alarm or fixing the stock one, adding a hidden engine start and installing a hidden fuel cutoff switch.

My old honda was broken into and they stole my music.
Honda's attract the scum of the earth.

Yea that's how I feel too, and they are a dime a dozen. I'm really glad I found out about SCs before I bought my car.

When you can't trust family who can you trust. And yea when I was looking for my SC I found none that were a theft recovery.

I left my car unlocked by accident one time with a flip out in-dash open as well. Some idiots walked through my neighborhood, opened the door, and broke off the screen.

Uh seriously?
Hot wiring is not hard at all, im not sure on SCs...In a 88-00 honda i can do it with a flat tip screw driver in 30 seconds and you dont have to hot wire anything!

Regardless, if the thief wants your car they will get it. Around Tampa there are A LOT of thieves with tow trucks.

Locked doors is front-line defense in keeping your car secure.

Of course, around these parts to add insult to injury, thieves have a habit of breaking windows to get into people's cars...

Luckily, no one has attempted to break into any of my cars yet. I keep my SC in the garage with my parent's cars with the car's alarm on. I'm so paranoid whenever I go places that I park my car where its always visible. I just put an amp and sub in the car a few weeks ago, so I definitely don't want it to get broken into.

I'm hella paranoid about leaving my doors unlocked on accident. I drove my old S10 for almost 100000 miles and it didn't have auto locks so I'd lock them by hand then check as I got out. Now that I have a little button to push I'm worried all the time that it didn't engage.

Got my car broken into. Well not broken into but left the doors unlocked in the driveway. Someone was bold enough to walk all the way down my long driveway, ignore the security light and steal my ipod from the cupholder. Then they went in the garage into my mom's Camry.
