Car stolen (againx2)
I've about had it with this ****.
That's StL 2 - Chicago 1.
Acura seriously needs to figure out why their damn locks are so vulnerable. I've never had this problem with the Volvos, Minis, Nissans, and (thank god) Citroens I've had, but out of a total of FOUR Honda products, THREE have been ripped off, all Acuras. And two in CWE, including tonight.
I just bought the damn thing last week!

It's a 2002 RL. It beeped when I hit the lock button on the key. The car (had) big flashing lights on the dash, and I've been using a club for the past decade.InvincibleCakeEater wrote:Have you invested in an alarm?Tarver wrote:I've about had it with this sh*t.

My Volvo S60 is still sitting outside, right next to the big empty space my Acura used to inhabit. It's never been screwed with at all.
Hondas/Acuras are just too easy to steal. The numbers don't fib. Great cars, but unless you're in the 'burbs, you best have full coverage.

Re: Car stolen (againx2)
Acuras and Hondas are some of the most stolen cars. The Civic and the Accord are usually in the top two or three, IIRC. Integras are up there too. I think it's less to do with how easy they are to steal and more to do with demand for parts.

I would seriously think I had the worst luck ever if my car had been stolen 3 times.

Re: Car stolen (againx2)
I wouldn't cry if someone stole my X5...it is worth way more in insurance than in selling on the market with gas prices etc.
Since it is equipped with every steal device known to man, I'm probably going to have to continue with the payments
Sorry to hear about your car man, hopefully you DID have full coverage.

Re: Car stolen (againx2)
My 2006 Acura has all those anti-theft devices as well...I think all Acuras and some Hondas come equipped with them now. I believe the Hondas/Acuras pre-2004 are the most stolen.phinstd wrote:I wouldn't cry if someone stole my X5...it is worth way more in insurance than in selling on the market with gas prices etc.

Re: Car stolen (againx2)
Wow, that's some crappy luck there. Like others have said, I think Honda/Acura products are simply targeted more than others. The jackoffs who stole your car probably could've taken the Volvo just as easily.
In any case, best of luck getting the situation resolved. Hopefully you won't have to experience it again.

Re: Car stolen (againx2)
This is where it helps to have a crappy car that noone would want to steal.
Seriously, though, that's awful luck.
Surely you've built up a few powerball wins from this.
