Ok, now we're talking. That's a good idea, and simple enough too. Still, will I be able to put a car cover on the car at night when I'm at home without being able to remove the antenna?

Or you can just take it off when you park. Simple and quick. 10 seconds tops.

Yeah, I could do that I guess. Truth be told, it could get stolen anywhere at any time though, and I don't think I want to be in the position of having to unscrew it, and then screw it back in every time I get in or out of the car, ya know?

The epoxy idea sounds like what I'm aiming for as long as I will still be able to put a car cover on the car at night while I'm at home. Otherwise I might have to do that I guess.

I got my antenna stolen about 8 months ago. I just charged it to the game and bought another one. I thought about glueing it to the car, but I just couldn't do it. I take it off when I'm in "shady" area's. But even if I have to replace it once a year. It's just the cost of a tank of gas. It's not going to kill me.

All made for S2000 car covers should come with a pocket for the antenna.

Most likely stolen at your apartment. And I wouldn't be surprised if it's the same person doing it.

Yes, I agree here with YOD88, just simply unscrew it each time you park in that same area. Think of how you'll aggrevate the guy who is waiting to steal each time.

I say unscrew it and throw it in the trunk.

Reason being is that if someone really wants it and gets frustrated because they can't get it off (epoxy, loctite, etc.) they may decide to due other more costly damage to your car that simply stealing the antenna. Kinda the same mentality as what you've already mentioned about covering the car, therefore provoking some ass to vandilize.

Just throw it in the trunk.

Move to an area or work in an area where you know that's not going to happen...
