End of the day, the HT can be removed, so if a thief wants it, they will get it - it latches into the car so its pretty easy to take - it comes off about as easily as the soft top opens.

Yes the doors can be slim-jimmied (SlimJim is beef jerky btw) - very easy to open a Honda door this way, like any car. Shaved keys don't work. You need a chipped key to start it, but professional thieves know how to defeat these measures as they are on all cars these days.

Bottom line is that if a thief wants the car, it could get stolen. A good aftermarket alarm and kill switch are good defense mechanisms, but nothing's bulletproof.

LOL, I think your the first person i've seen say that a car can be slim jimmied. But then again i'm in PA where slang is the native tongue. Anyway, very informative. It looks like In order for me to get a s2000 i will have to get hard top locks, seat locks, and put my pager alarm on the car. I could move somewhere else but no matter where you are, there are theives lurking. Lukily there are plenty of amatuers in my area.

Thanks again.
