I got the TSX for the same reason.
My Integra was stolen back in April. Cops found it about 3 weeks later sans rims, front seats, AEM intake and having been run into something.
Insurance totaled it for me.

When mine was stolen it was found with 2 spares, the donut, and front driver side rim missing entirely.
Apparently they took off 3 rims, replaced them with the cheap spares and donut, drove it to the spot the abandoned it, then took off the 4th.
They wanted things easy to strip and sell quickly. Motor takes a little time and more private setting I suppose.

They did catch the guys. Turns out the house they used was next door to one of them. They looked at the kids's Civic in the driveway and saw loose Polk speakers in the rear window. They asked what was up with the speakers and he said they were his. The cops matched the serial numbers on the speakers to the serial numbers on the boxes still in my car (you can see them in the last pic). He was BUSTED....and he ratted out all of his friends.

they couldeve at least thrown the box's away in their OWN trash can, since the speaks were in the dumbass's car, and the cops see the speaks.....he couldeve said, THERE MINE, SEE....HERES THE BOXES.
im glad the cops actually put 2 & 2 together, and busted a stupid criminal this time!!
most cops wouldeve seen the kids civic and been like "ME WANT DONUT, NOW!"
your lucky man!! i know it sucks and all, but your in a WAY BETTER car now!!

That's cool they got caught.
I would be one to disagree on the TSX being better than an Integra. I had a 99 GSR, and I kick myself in the ass everyday for selling it. Had to do it with having a kid, and wish I would have just toughed it out, having a two door and a baby! That car has endless boundaries.

Damn, that sucks. At least you have an excuse to get a TSX. 
Here in Arizona, Acuras get stolen like mad. My buddy had his Integra stolen out of his driveway, and the cops found it 2 days later, stripped. They didn't take the motor either, we figure because it's too hard for them to transport to Mexico or wherever.
He got a WRX though, fun car.

er. Since the house was under construction, I'm guessing this kid didn't live in the 'hood or the barrio. Sup with that?
