Phew. Thank goodness the two cars I own are the 1994 and the 2000 Acura Integra. I'm pretty sure I'm safe. :LOL:
|
This is exactly why I sold my GSR. There was no way I could afford to just be without a car one morning b/c of some jackass thief.
|
So the lesson is...buy a 94 or 00 Integra. :D

BMW M roadster tops the list? :confused: I hardly ever see that car on the road, let alone topping any list that has to do with quantity. :confused:
Oh, thank God, Camry no longer makes the list. It used to be very popular (for parts and stuff). :thumbup: |

This list was compiled by using the highest percentage stolen for cars of a certain model as compared to the number registered, not by sheer volume.
If it was sheer volume, America's best sellers (Accord/Camry) would be on the list most definitely. |

Yeah, I figure 1-out-of-200 makes a half-dozen or so total M-Roadsters stolen. :)

I just read another one it was escalade and evo man can they make up there mind.
|
jeez.. wasn't it like just a year ago where suv's and trucks topped the list?
|
Wheww Whoooo!!! My (former) car made #5!
Yep, it was stolen, right in front of my apartment building. |
"Surprisingly, the cost of fuel has not affected the popularity of the large SUV among car thieves. The full-size SUV segment remains the most stolen segment, including such vehicles as the Cadillac Escalade and the Land Rover Range Rover. "
:egads: |
What, no imobilizer on Acuras in the 90's?????
|
Actually, my wife's former car ('89 Accord) was broken into three times ... fortunately they only stole stuff out of it and not the entire vehicle. It seems that the windows on that car rolled up against the outside of the seal rather than between 2 layers as I've seen on other cars, which made it easy to slip a slim-jim or coat hangar behind the glass and access the lock. I wonder if the Integra's used that same design?

I guess it's a good thing that I have an automatic integra SE, instead of a GSR! |
I fear for my GSR's life everyday. I need to install a hidden fuel shutoff switch asap.

And chain it to a post...how many of those thefts were as a result of a towtruck/flatbed?
|
You forget.. They arent going to look at the year before they steal it, it just so happens to be that year...
|
Its like this every year... Integras engines are a tuner's dream, and they don't come cheap! Plus, stolen cars parted out is more profitable and harder to track (I read somewhere that a $10k kbb value car can be harvested for about $30k)

well now with the release of the K series motors(k20a2, k20a3, k23a2), i believe the list will change shortly. They're the new B series motors. Not only do they perform better but they are crazy expensive. And alot of people that own 7thgen Civics go crazy buying Type S parts.

I wonder if I part my car out if I would get more money that way than selling it whole.
|
it has integra written all over it but soon the rsx for the k20 series
|
why are the integras so highly targeted? A friend of mine has a gsr i feel sorry for him lol
|
because there very easy to steal
