Will a 95 Ls attract thieves?
i recently bought a 95 ls, all stock. it has no mods, only lowering springs. i live in the city of san francisco and i am wondering if my car is going to be a target for thieves.

Maybe for a joyride, but I don't think it is anywhere near as high of risk of owning a gsr or type r. Never hurts to be cautious though. Sometimes theives just steal to steal and don't care what they are stealing or who they stealing from so protecting the investment is not going to hurt anything.

While the risk has diminished somewhat, there is still a demand for B-series motors (even the lowly B18B1). Having lived in the Bay Area for 20-plus years, I know that theft is still an issue in some areas. So yeah, invest in a security system.
I would budget $200 on a alarm with a starter-kill and a battery backup.
In addition, I would add $40 for an AutoLoc clutch lock. The combination of the alarm and the physical deterrent of the clutch lock will convince the amateurs to pick another target.
The whole point of an alarm system is to use multiple layers of security to deter theives from even mounting an assault. Park out in the open, near people. That way, a thief is left without cover. Then, add multiple layers of security to make your car too risky to steal.
If you're on a standard policy and the car gets stolen, you'll probably get about $4500. If you spend less than 5% of that amount on security and reduce the odds of theft by 20x or more, that's a very wise investment IMO.

This is an option. Another option would be to remove the battery like a detacheable faced cd player and take it with you everywhere you go, eh eh.
