Wow dude that sucks this past may by grandparents 2005 GMC Sierra 2500HD Duramax diesel got stolen in Canada while they were camping. They had the truck parked at a mall for two hours. they got stuck up there for 5 days with their fifth wheel camper. We had a friend go up a tow them home. The never found the truck. Most likely i another country. Not even ONstar could help because they had turned off the system.

something you may want to consider on your next vehical if you continue to park there, my old girlfriend went to college in south philly, i hated parking my car there so i took the train, relized i hated the train more so i made a make shift anti-theft device as i did not have enough $$ for a alarm on a 1,500 car. I routed a heavy duty (i think it was like 50amp) toggle switch under the dash. It was a breaker between the battery and the coil. One morning i came out to see my car was broken into but was still there. I hear they make kits for fuel pumps too. just my $0.02

That sucks man. From what I understand, Accords are one of the most stolen vehicles.

UPDATE..got what was left of the car back around thanksgiving..had to tow it home on the trailer..parting out a 5 speed 94 2 door accord if anyone is interested...

i have a civic now, carry theft insurance, use the auto lock on the clutch pedal and an alpha lock on one of the tires..may set up one of the toggle switches you mentions...thanks..

been parking downtown since october with no problems on my car...my roommate has an 85 monte ss..he had a decent head unit in it..we were coming back from class around 3pm and saw a guy get out of the car with a bookbag...we went up to the car and saw the radio missing...now picture 3 athletic college kids running down the street after an overweight adult...he sat next to a homeless guy and pretended to homeless too but roommate just went up and cracked him in the face..and we took the radio back

sounds like he wanted to sell it for some crack, you guys just gave him what he wanted without all the BS of having to pawn the radio

the honda scene is very odd. it has come to the point where aftermarket parts are so cheap and oem parts are worth more. hence why theft is such a problem with hondas. my buddy had a hard on for a del sol but opted out when he found one because he was worried about theft. i can't deal with that. my $30 dollar head unit was stolen out of my camry in high school and even that sucked. i stopped hanging out with my best friend in high school when he went on a theft phase. i can't deal with that. its so grimey. /rant

good luck man

Thats pretty crazy...my roommate works for the firestone in turnersville and they had a honda civic manual hatchback w. 310,000miles on it stolen from there this past fall. it was only out there over night...it was like it sat out there for days....they found it like a week later totally stripped in Camden. They never caught who did it....you would think a place liek Firestone would have camera's outside....they just so happened to not be working that night- heh. It's crazy with those hondas though.

Two people from my high school had there Acura Integras stolen only a few blocks away from our high school. One they found in Paterson with the interior completely stripped. The other was found in upstate New York as a completely stripped smoked frame.

my physics teacher in hs had his rsx stolen from right outside of his apartment & was later found in a chop shop.
most of the kids didn't like him so we found it hilarious
