How are the other areas of the world on car theft?
I know in the US its dredful. I'm one of the 5 people to own a CTR in all of oregon and washington. and I've owned it 2 weeks and have had several attempts. I'm having an alarm installed this week and she will sit in my garage until then.
But I'm curious to know if the car theft is so bad anywhere else.
US FACT!
Integra type R is number 3 on the USA nations most stolen car! 6 out of ten are salvaged title due to theft. Its horrid. That's 60% of R's get jacked. Who knows how many are wrecked. I see maybe 1 or 2 clean titles for sale on honda-tech and that's it.
Same goes for the 99-00 honda civic si. I've owned 3. All were theft recoveries needing motor or some kind of parts.
Car theft is getting annoying. Whenever I drive my ek9 around I have to take me eCU and fuel pump relay just to feel somewhat safe. And then I need a window so I can see it from where ever I'm dining. Its pathetic. What do you guys do for protection? Besides alarm. I was thinking of custom welding a huge steel bracket around my steering column so it would be unbreakable and the car would have to be towed w/o a key. Just a idea.
Let me know mates.
Cheers,
Matt
