Yeah my car was broken into back in 1997. I was supposed to get an alarm the following week, which I kick myself for not doing first.

Found out that the shop who installed my stereo system had a 75% theft rate according to my insurance company and they were doing an undercover investigation along with the township police. Apparently one or two of the installers would install the stereos so they would just pull out quickly, and they would see how to break into the car quickly. Don't know whatever came of that.

But the following week had the alarm installed and now 2003 never had a problem with all my cars with alarms. I also now use the Autolock on my 2000 Civic Si just to be safer. And when I go away I take out the ECU fuse, lock the steering wheel, and hide the key.
