I'd be willing to bet money that more have been totalled due to spinning into a wall than from being swiped.

I should say that if you have something like lojack, please don't say so here. It kind of defeats the purpose if you announce it.

Oh and I've never heard of one being stolen but I'm sure it's happened. It would likely need to be towed.

I think it's less likely to get stolen compared to other cars that are a dime a dozen.

Make sure you have wheel locks...I had 4 little bastards try to steal my wheels off my GS-R last summer. A deputy spotted them and busted them before they could get away. I now sport locks on my wheels.

Type R, thanks for the VIN # heads-up. That makes the most sense. Aside from a flat-bed, that sounds easy to do!

Crime rate is lower I believe... After all Bush did execute the most in the country while he was governor!

Not that I agree or disagree, I'm not getting killed, but we don't play games. If you steal from someone's store be prepared to get your hands chopped clean off!
