Why are integra's stolen so often

[bcartwright88]

I have heard alot on this forum about protecting your investment, and all about upgrading security with kill switches. I drove a BMW 325i, as well as a toyota mr2 and was active in those forums and neither one had near as much worry about getting their car stolen. And those cars are rarer than an integra. So why are integras stolen so often, someone enlighten me please.

because the demand for the b-series is high, parts are cheap and plentiful, the integra is 'easy' to obtain, b-series is easily swappable in many hondas.

Parts are interchangeable. ppl with civics want their motors. list goes on.

1. alarm system that covers the hood, body, windows, doors, trunk
2. club lock
3. auto-lock (look this up, its a brake lock. $60 @ kragen or autozone.
4. kill switch
5. security cameras
6. buy security guards (preferably karate monkeys)
7. re-locate your hood-latch
8. Buy a yellow boot on ebay (i think this is the best investment).
9. Don't store important items in the car overnight.
10. Take out your aftermarket radio.

Leave your doors unlocked, key in the ignition, and set up a 250 deductible through your insurance company.
