    Default A trend that i have noticed.

    I frequent the stolen cars section, just to see who's shit is getting jacked.

    I have realized that the majority of the people who have their cars stolen (and their friends that post in the threads) seem to lack intelligence. If they protect their cars like they communicate online; they are probably picked out by theives because they know how dumb their victims are.....

    Just something I have noticed...
    I'm just that guy that spends all his time printing.... T-shirts, banners, vinyl, etc.

    Alarms. Kill switches. There are many ways to protect your car. Getting on an online forum and bragging about your $1000 turbo setup isnt one of them...

    exactly, most of these stolen cars are parked in public parking spots or in open driveways in shitty neighborhoods. When will people learn not to drive your boosted civic to malls and movie theaters ? If you wanna keep your car, act like like it. If you don't have a safe place to keep it, put your money in something else.

    Exactly. Posting pictures of your brand new type R swapped civic with a Greddy Turbo Kit and a nice big picture of your $600 exhaust is only going to make a thief Salivate. The tag in the picture is an open invitation.

    Captioning your picture with "we gotz that pimptyte shiznit. 5 gran worf of partz on dis bitch. try meh homie"

    might as well be telling someone that you're so fucking retarded that you probably left the keys in the ignition and a $20 bill in the console for gas...





    EDIT: It was really hard to type that sentence. lol

    I agree with this for the most part, I mean you could say what you have if you wanted too. Post pics or whatever as well, just cover your ass while doing so.

    Yeah, it's one thing to take pictures, and another to give someone all the info they need to find you, not protect your car, then bitch when it disappears..

    I know right? It's like me, when I first got that bike I had, I took and posted pics. But, I also spent the 2 minutes that was needed to remove my tag. I mean a pretty good amount of people on here know where I live, but I don't go blasting it out with my full address and all.

    Theft value is different than actual value. Which your car lacks. Later, QD.

    im just saying, my car, compared to a stock EF, would get stolen first because of the after market parts value of the car, not the actual or the retail price.

    Really? 'Cause a stock Civic would be easier to part out and not have to worry about selling the one of a kind Carbing strut bars...

    Oh wait, you don't have to worry about that.

    There's a reason I don't post in the FORCED INDUCTION or GENERAL TECH sections. Know why? It's because I don't make it a habit to post about things I don't know much about. When I post something, I post it because I am certain of it. You should try it sometime. There's a reason why people see me as being not just a smart ass, but just plain smart.

    Come on, man, can you not see the lunacy in your post? You didn't really expect to be taken seriously on that, did you? At the very least, 9 out of 10 people on here do NOT own a stock Honda. This is what I mean about my reply to the first quote. Know what you're talking about BEFORE you talk. Later, QD.
