It's funny how people don't realize this. "Oh I have an alarm, they aren't getting my car." BS. I have had 2 hondas, a prelude and an integra, both with alarms. The lude had rims stolen, and the whole car stolen once. The integra was broken into last year at school and some stuff was stolen out of it. I know a guy who had a $250000 show car hot rod. He had a GPS tracker with his alarm, and it could all be controlled through a lap top or his cell phone. At the time the alarm is tripped, the alarm company is notified of it. He thought his car was unstealable, as well as many people did. Well, it got stolen. If they want it, they will take it. No alarm, no club, no autolock, and no other gimmick will prevent your car from being taken.

a guy in my old neighborhood builds insane little trucks. no hydraulics or anything like that. but he has a Chevy Xtreme, with a s/c'ed LT1 in it. the car before it was stolen, and he didn't want this one to get stolen. so he installed closed curcuit video surveilance(sp?) with night vision. then he somehow had a motion detector installed under the truck. well, when the motion detector was tripped, and alarm went off in his room, the car alarm went off, and a couple of spot lights lit up his car. last time i talked to him, it saved his truck twice. but it also helps that he is an electronics major.

"Susan Jablonski, a spokesperson for CCC, says that there is a correlation between the number of a particular vehicle stolen and the number of those vehicles on the road. Not only are Camrys and Accords among the best selling cars in the U.S., but also she says this is the first year that an SUV — the 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee — has cracked the top 20, thus reflecting the recent popularity of SUVs."

-1991 Toyota Camry

You are wrong. Integra is the most stolen car. It was on all of the tv stations' news broadcasts as well as CNN.
If you don't believe me, here is the link to the article on CNN's website.

to quote that site.... "A study shows Acura Integra is the most stolen new car model in the U.S."
"WASHINGTON (CNN) - The Acura Integra tops a new study listing the most stolen passenger vehicles for the model years 1999-2001, according to the Highway Loss Data Institute. "
