the integra has been the most stolen car for a while now.

tinman 08-08-2006 11:02 AM

Huh? The BMW roadster ranked as first. Note that the 2001 - 2005 civic isn't even on the list. Shows how pathetic this model was. Bet the 06 SI will be a winner.

RHCP0801 08-08-2006 11:02 AM

...intresting

flipmoderacer02 08-08-2006 11:41 AM

isuzu5000 08-08-2006 12:03 PM

Bwahahaha, that's a good idea. I might do that... when I get myself an S2000 or something that'd be worth it. :hgrin:

they steal integras to race them and sell parts to poeple whowant to race them....

Sinisterdexter 08-08-2006 02:19 PM

I still call shenanigans on that list. I barely see tegs anymore. I think it's because they... gee... I dunno... Stopped making them 5 years ago. Wouldn't you think that car thieves would move up to the RSX since that's what's current?

Hurts2bStock 08-08-2006 02:30 PM

I wish somone would steel mine....lol....jk But I do have full replacement insurance which means i get every dollar I put into it with no depreciation....or I can take an o6 civic same model etc...

03-Acura-1.7-EL 08-08-2006 02:30 PM

Many Integras are either crashed, rusted out, died of natural causes or already stolen.

I like what they said: 2004 and 2005 Suzuki Aerio, another small car with a powerful engine.

Many articles about insurance are speculations and are "made by order".

Thats a good thing!! I rather have us not be on the list!!!

Se7enEX 08-08-2006 10:53 PM

yea the tegs been on there for a good while, for as long as i can remember they been in first because of the b18 swaps and if not they'll just steal them and race with the car the thieves stole. They mainly strip, chop and sell the parts, my cuz had his teg stolen 3 years ago...cops found the shell no engine he had it frankensteined....they found the engine in a eg hatch. crazy how cops find that stuff =x

I have a feeling it's tougher to steal the RSX than Integra. Didnt think B18B is still so popular though........

TransformedBG 08-08-2006 11:33 PM

Ive said it before and say it again... "LO-JACK!" With early warning detection.

FERIOHHHHHHHHHH 08-09-2006 12:01 AM

i think rsx dont get stolen as much because they have that transponder thing, and so do our civics.. not everyone knows how to bypass that, yetttttt. but very easily when have the right things. but it will be up there soon. tegs are way toooo easy and soon enough, so will rsx's.

TransformedBG 08-09-2006 12:27 AM

Yeah its just a bypass. its not to hard. Soo you know.

Hurts2bStock 08-09-2006 12:32 AM

dalaw 08-09-2006 01:03 AM

JB Dizzle 08-09-2006 12:51 PM

Sinisterdexter 08-09-2006 11:40 PM

Okay... In that wired article they mentioned that you can by-pass a honda's immobolizer with a series of e-brake pulls... What the hell... Why would honda even consider putting in a by-pass? I mean, hell... The car was probably snagged by a honda tech looking for a joy ride. He would have access to said series of pulls and the VIN number...

xtreme26 08-10-2006 10:17 PM

I guess if the person lost their key like the story they gave to the person at the honda dealer.

adnmoh1 08-11-2006 11:17 AM
