I haven't heard of many SCs being stolen..I've heard them being broken into to steal audio etc. I know Integras show up on the top 10 for being stolen, however. Those parts are much easier to sell as demand is high. My neighbor's GSR was converted completely to JDM, then stolen and stripped twice.. pretty sad.

But yea, none of my SC friends have ever had their SCs jacked. *knock on wood*

Nobody wants to steal an sc..damn parts to build/restore it are too expensive. Unless they are stealing a completely modded out sc and parting it out then probably it's worth it. But then again how many modded out sc's do you see in your area compared to integras...

An SC was recently stolen near me in south Florida. It had a 2jzgte single turbo 6speed. They found it stripped to nothing. They stole it using a tow truck.

But hondas are stolen all the time.

Don't want to come of as baised but i just think that people who drive "modded hondas" are thieves,
living in New York most of the cars that i see get stollen are Hondas,The SC is way more of a grown up Grand Tourer and most thieves cant afford the up keep,
BTW is it me or most people who drive those Hondas always got spiked hair??

lexus is a harder car to steal cause there's not much master keys that every1 have unlike hondas, plus, lexus have a security system that if they try to pick the lock, the car will alarm and and relock itself.

no one is safe from thieves unfortunately, if they want it bad enough they will take it, a tow truck is all it takes, but for the common criminal that wants stereo equipment and various crap left in the vehicle the best defense is a good brand name 2 way paging alarm system installed by pros that know what there doing and are trusted in the community, because remember the best thieves are also installers and there are alot of shady ones that will program an extra remote to your car after they've installed your system, i should know im an installer and ive seen the worst of it, not to scare anyone but just trying to show you should never let your guard down and think just because a car is not the most common stolen vehicle that its not gonna happen to you
