My son's car got stolen last night
If you happen to see a black '90 Honda Civic, with the plastic protective stuff under the engine nearly dragging on the ground, and this car is just parked somewhere in your neighborhood--let me know or call the police. I'd appreciate it if you who live in the S.L. area could keep your eyes open for me!

Yeah--it's really a car that you'd say, "why'd they take that one"? It didn't even have a good stereo in it--just an old cassette player. Probably just took it for a joy ride and left it somewhere.

Bummer. Having people mess with you like that is horrible. They don't just rob you of your processions but also of your security and peace of mind. I'm really sorry to hear it.

I agree with Cricket. About 95% of theft is a spur of the moment thing done by lazies. So any little thing to slow them down is going to cover you most of the time. The last 5% are pros and if they want your car they are going to get it. No sense worrying about stopping them.

Sounds like you need to think about moving sometime in the future? That sucks someone stole your kids car, get a club if you have to, at least it may make them go to someone elses car..
Two wheels are better than four, keep the rubber side down.

Now with the Winter months setting upon us, the AWD cars and 4WD SUV's will be stolen a little more frequently. We see this back here.
You can try things such as ignition switches. The switch is between the battery and the ignition. So, even when they pull the column, there is no power there unless the switch is turned on. You don't want the switch where someone can find it, it could be put anywhere in the car. From under any of the seats, to the rear deck and the only way to get at it is through the trunk. This becomes a PIA for you, because you as well, have to go out of your way just to start the car. It's a bit of an inconvenience, but it's one heck of a deterrent.

My Honda Civics (1991 and 1993 models) were stolen 3 times in the last 5 years. Local police said they are very easy to steal and a favorite target of local gangs. They also said the CLUB works because the thieves are mostly amateurs and easily deterred.
I'll keep an eye out...what model is it? Hatchback, 4door, coupe, ???
Bad economy blues...
