Are 8th Gen Civics easy to steal?

Hello All... I'm the new owner of a 2007 Honda Civic Coupe and I'm wondering if 8th Gen Civics are easy to steal?

I'm kinda paranoid after having my 1999 Civic stolen 4 times and wondering if I should invest in an alarm and club.

Has anyone ever had their's stolen? If so how difficult is it?

Thanks in advance

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

7th gen and newer are equipped with Immobilizer system.

Pros would steal it with a tow truck.
Edit: Or carjacking

Its possible, but highly unlikely since you're vehicle is a low value asset.

There is a way of stealing supercars which was exposed in many places including here in Vancouver.

It involves having a radio frequency scanner, which needs to be in proximity to the key (some can scan through a house); which can clone the signal, to be used on a blank key, or fob.
