They took the airbags because they are worth around $600-800 on ebay or anywhere else you go for airbags...Alot of bodyshops buy wrecked accords and need replacement airbags...Nice moneymaker..worth alot more than most of those stereo components....

I know this because I work at a body shop...and those airbags are a very expensive part...prime meat for a thief looking to make some $$.

Default there is something like a club and has electric shock=$200 do a search post is here

get the electric shock should b perfect for u. definetly get a clifford/DEI i have the one with the little LCD page. the matrix RSIII <--u can get every add in thing u can iamgine lol shock sensors/tilt/ 2nd backup battery etc.... is very cool lets u know if someone touches the car or if the d!ck got which door open, then i go quitely preten is not my car and pop the trunk open with the control, take out my softball bat and trust me i can hit home runs. i also have a multilock that should take them time if they are going to cut it either way cause if they want the car or stereo since it blocks the stereo. the way my alarm works is, once is arm u cant open the car door/trunk or hood either from outside of inside, alarm goes off if u try to open door. unlock=disarm or u can hit the button to shut the noise off and the alarms keeps checking for any entrys etc.... is crazy shit all i know this damn thing work. it has never gone off for no reason even if u have the loudest muffler or truck next to my car.

I have the Viper 791XV love it has the pager that lets you know whats going on. you could even add on gps tracking with door unlock\lock auto start and kill engine from the internet and phone.

Just wondering, why the F*ck woudlsomeoen steal air bags???????

Leagaly they cant be resold, if your air bags deploy, you have to get an authorised dealer to install replacements otherwise they are not considered "up to code". This I know from automotive tech class. i had to becoem a certiffied, authorised tech to install them.


Thast just stupid to steal damn air bags.

That is untrue, anyone can buy a wrecked car that has a clean title and had its airbags deployed. There is no law stating you have to get "authorized" parts for your own car. And it is legal to buy them(Or sell them)(undeployed airbags) I have worked at several body shops, and at the customers request we have purchased airbags from wrecked vehicles and installed them(No law against it) And it saves a heck of alot of money. I personally have repaired many cars and used airbags I've purchased from either the junk yard or elsewhere...They are in perfect operating condition......

So the truth is there is money to be made on stolen airbags...Just check EBAY

The 1997 Accord has no such system. I think a similar anti-theft was introduced in the 6th gen Accord. Other manufactures have even gone as far as to disable the power door lock switches alltogether once the anti-theft system is engaged
Yeah. My 6th gen does that. If I have the windows down, doors locked and touch anything inside (trunk or door lock button, or door lock pencil-looking-thing it sets off my alarm. Only key or wireless will shut that off.
