Hey i was just wondering if you guys feel safe when you park your car. I was just thinkin about how easy it is to steal one of our cars. Although i have heard that it is hard to steal a TL b/c the steeing columns are hard to break. Are cars dont have immobilzers but i purrchased and aftermarket one. Has ne1 first gen been stolen?

 

haven't heard of anyones TL being stolen... but maybe one of the older members remembers someone??? but the following thread would probably answer any questions about car security...

I caught some guy trying to steal mine once...he was down in the drivers seat messin with some wires and he pulled out what looked to be the fuse box on the side panel...when the cops came they said that the guy was a pro...so maybe he knew some little trick, becuase he managed to get in without breaking the window...the guys never told the cops what he was trying to do but i thought it was kinda weird.

 

He was prolly just trying to borrow some fuses

 

Lol...maybe i dont know....

 

TooCoo: was it you who posted a picture of how the guy broke it? I remember someone posted a picture of the passenger door handle after someone broke in. The door handle was popped out and got access to inside cabin without breaking the window.

The best and probably a hassle..and cheapest way to prevent someone stealing your car would be to just take out the shortest spark plug wire whenever you leave your car.

 

naw that wasnt me...but i think i know what pic your talkin bout...i guess that guy that was in my car wasnt there for much time when i ran up on em cuz all he did was pop out all the plastic coverings and pulled down some wires...now that i think about it... ... i have absolutly no idea what the hell that dumbass could have been doin but he caught a good ass whoopin for his trouble.

 

oo ok thanks that helped me

 

Well... I've locked my keys in my car once and I got in within 5 minutes with only a slimjim. I'm decent with a slimjim though so maybe I could be considered a "pro" on the older Hondas/Acuras.

The newer ones use far more sophisticated anti-theft methods.

 

((PST)) pro with slim jim.. remember guys dont leave your 1st gener in Oregon unnatended, all he needs is five minutes....LOL...j/k... ive done the same a couple of times, freaking keys

 

It wasn't that hard sadly. I wish we had an immobilizer in the ignition.

 

Hmm, someone should get around to pulling out some wiring and making a nice little hidden kill switch for the fuel pump or something, not going anywhere without gas

 

i used to have on my acura vigor a kill switch too my sunroof. you would have too press the sunroof and turn the key at the same time in order too turn on the car. was preety kewl..

i have not done anything too this car though

 

You don't hear of our cars getting stolen very often which is cool. But realisitcally any car is easy to steal, if the persons a pro....
