Thanks for the heads up but this is a common problem here and kokodan_4 actually sells the seat locks made by McGuard. An alarm would help too though. And it is very common for ap1s to get totaled for seat theft as the thieves usually cut the top to get into the car.
I know that now. I got hooked up with him, thank goodness. I have thought of getting them welded to. Know anything about that?

both of the rear seat bolts, go through the floor, you can see the bottom of the bolt from underneath the car. you could just put a longer bolt that will stick out enough through the floor to put a nut on. the thief will go to try loosen the the seat bolts to remove them but ahhhh the bolt won't come out!

Wow, you know what? Thats a good idea. Seriously. You probably have to coat the nut/thread with some sealant spray to prevent rust.

Yeah I hold Honda totally responsible for the problem. If those seats didnt fit in other Hondas and acuras then there wouldnt be a problem with it. At least not on the scale that it has been, especially around south florida. After my seats were stolen, and I had gotten the car back from the shop I am noticing a few other things that arent the same as they were before the vandalizing was done. I am thinking that maybe they wanted to steal some other stuff too, but got spooked and got out of there. Now I have the seat locks and a top of the line alarm, with backup. I hope they get caught and serve time.

I think everyone on this site will agree with you on that.
