Insurance gives you money based on the vehicles current value. You can fight for more and win sometimes.

I seriously doubt it will. I have *zero* concerns about mine getting stolen. Then again I'm not all that careful with the ITR either. Cars are meant to be used

Actually that's not the issue. People have located ITRs from far away, followed them after randomly seeing them, etc. They have been stolen in the middle of the night by breaking into the owners house to get into the garage. Multiple cars moved out of the way, etc.

It's stupid as hell but people go to great lengths to steal these 11-15 year old Hondas.

these cars are disappearing? comments? thoughts? using "wiring diagrams",and one hell of a lot of time? ? ?
