Hi all. I'm a proud owner of a new 2005 S2000 -- which unfortunately had its seats stolen last week. Any ideas how I can protect myself from a repeat burglary? I plan on visiting my local auto security specialists when I get my car back from my Honda dealer with a new top and seats, but I'm not sure what security equipment to add to the S2K. I do want to buy a set of "kodokan" seat locks. Can anyone tell me how to go about this.

Thanks

incredible... and in arizona??

sorry to hear this- good quality alarm is your best protection. i cover my car too (keeps folks from looking in- of course they can still take the cover, but if your alarm has motion sensors they will not likely hang around to take the seats again!)

 

Welcome.
P.M.Pete aka "Kodokan" for the locks.

 

Get the seat locks at $60. Also important (to me) is a non-factory alarm with motion sensors, both for keeping thieves away and for piece of mind when leaving the top down. Always close the radio door when you leave the S too...

 

Walter,check your P.M.

 

So sorry to hear about your stolen seats.

I have the McGard seat locks that I got from Pete too (his username is Kodokan_4). They take about 10 minutes to install, and should prevent anyone from getting the seats out in a burglary. Won't stop vandalism though.

I don't know how useful an alarm is in a convertible, by the way. Stealing the car would probably require a flatbed tow truck, as cutting the top and releasing the e-brake and transmission would make it possible. Operating the engine without a proper immobilzer key isn't easy.
