Always had one of these fitted to all my cars, and never had any attempted breakins or theft.
Anyone got one fitted to their S2000?
I know they dont look the best, but I need more than my Cat 1 honda alarm for a bit more peace of mind.

Cheers

I had one of those Diskloks (Thatcham Cat3) on my last car for additional POM, it also cuts down the risk of airbag theft but the way I see it - if someone is going to try and knock off my S2000 they'll likely be seasoned professionals and it probably wouldn't be much of an obstacle, any way I can't just pop it under the passenger seat for storage in the S2000

Hey don't joke its a growing risk nationwide! Some of the more common cars like mondeos/escorts etc. are quite at risk, when you reckon an airbag could set you back the thick end of a grand there is quite some motivation for dodgy repair shops to increase their margin

I was reading on internet that close to M25 - a series of Subarus were pinched at gunpoint from the owners drives - the thieves broke into the houses and demanded the keys - and then the police could not keep up with them!

Yeah, I read that in the paper. Those Subaru drivers do seem to suffer some of the worst crimes. Checked out there forums when I was looking for a car and I couldn't believe it.
