6th Generation Owners Please listen.
Our cars are the most stolen out of all the civics and we are near the top of the most stolen car.
All you swap People. Dont think no one knows you have a swap just cause you have a dx "sleeper" we all can tell the difference between a d-series and a b/h/k series even when your not hitting vtec. Dont rely on looking stock cause most thieves arent stupid.
To all you 99-00 si owners... Listen.
THEY ARE COMING! THEY KNOW YOU HAVE AN SI AND THEY ARE GOING TO TRY TO STEAL IT. THERE IS NO IF , MIGHT, MAYBE. THEY ARE COMING FOR YOUR EM1!
Protect yourself first.
1. Get yourself
FULLY insured. Dont just go for the liabilty cause you wont get s**t if you get jacked. Would you rather pay a little more a month and get money for your stolen car or pay a little and have no car and no money?
2. Dont be stupid and think that if you "debadge" your si no one will know. We all know
Most people who know anything about civics can hear your b16 easily and spot your em1 from a mile away
3. Get a decent alarm system. Sure most thieves can bypass an alarm system in a matter of seconds but it is still better than nothing , especially if you have a pager. Get a back up battery for the alarm system and put a siren inside the car. Its very hard to steal a car when your ears are bleeding.
4. Get or make an Immobilizer. Here is how

Attach the wires that run to your fuel pump to a switch. And Hide the switch somewhere. Deactivate the switch when you leave the car. This way your car will have no fuel if someone decides to try to steal it
5. Have a swap and or HID's or HID kit? Get locking Hoodpins.. It takes seconds to steal a HID kit.. Lock your hood up
6. Have a aftermarket headunit? Do yourself a favor and take the face off when you get out.. Dont be that a*****e who got his removable face head unit stolen.. Its the same concept as having a door lock and leaving the keys in the door when you leave.
7.
THE MOST IMPORTANT RULE dont think cause your 6th gen has no mods done to it that there is no reason for someone to steal it.. Guess what.. It is still very profitable to steal a stock civic.. Dont be stupid.
Be smart about your car 6th generation civic and you can keep it for years...
