I think you're being paranoid. But coming from experience our cars are very very easy to get into. My buddy locked his key in his car once and it only took me less than 2 minutes to get in. anything pre 97 doesn't have a chip in the key and can be started fairly easily. Easiest and cheapest way to stop people from driving your car away is by wiring a small hidden switch to your fuel pump. Put it somewhere that only you know about. They wont be able to start your car unless they find that switch.

i think ourcars don't get stolen as much as honda's is probably more because hondas are more common with tuners and crooks, and have more common parts that fanboys wanna steal. SCs aren't as "popular" amongst tuners and thieves. most people don't even know what the hell an SC is and constantly confuse them with 240's.
just sayin'..

I wouldn't call it paranoid when some gangsters roll up on big *** shiny wheels driving the same car with a part that needs replacing. I think if you want to look gangster like that, then you get stuck with that stereo-type by your own choice and you probably steal stuff.

you have a pretty clean sc i cant even front!!
so with that being said you have every reason to be paranoid
so if i was in your place and had those guys circle my car i wouldn't leave it there
** it's better to be safe then sorry!!! and i'm almost positive that when the 2 way pager goes off by the time you or the cops make it to the scene the car will be long gone if they wasn't after just a part or 2!!
