It's been this way for 15 years.

Trash steals trash. I find it rather funny these guys would walk right by a BMW or Jaguar and steal a 15 year old honda civic so they can put parts on their cars.

If they stole the Bimmer they could sell it and get enough money to buy a bimmer themselves.

It just makes sense from a thieves perspective.

Probably because most parts are interchangeable between all gens and civics/integras and that creates a big market?

well if thats the case, then go to the meadows on friday night and just look around for anything that might be yours. someone me and my friends know, had there honda stolen and we think we've seen its wheels on another car down there.

What I meant was things like ECUs, rear disc swaps and engine mounts used in motor swaps...etc..that make Hondas worth stealing. One man's trash is another's treasure.

Foolinaround · 01-25-2010, 05:25 PM

hey hey hey,one mans treasures is another mans profit.

what a joke... these small time thieves go after what is easy to steal, not what costs the most.

I agree. We all do this because it's our passion and when something like this happens it's such a low blow.

hondas today are like the camaro/firebird/monte carlo/regal/etc. of the 80s. easy to steal, interchangeable parts and easy to move the parts cheap.
