I hope the thief is found and gets owned.

I was afraid this might happen but, why would anyone steal an FR-S?

They don't have a lot of aftermarket parts in them, yet anyway. There's not enough of them for the parts to be worth anything to auto shops. Joy rides?

I thought the FR-S and BRZ are equipped with engine immobilizers if the key is not present inside the car?

It's crazy how they thought they could drive away a car with an immobilizer system. Your car fared better than my last two civics (both stolen, 8 month apart, nothing ever recovered), but honda's are notorious for getting jacked. I just hate these low-lives who try to take the easy way in life by taking other people's property.

Wow, if I ever saw someone trying to steal my car I would finish them like a cheese cake!

But I'd be pissed, but whatever comes around goes around

i installed a viper alarm.. which is when the car door is open, window busted, car tilted, car wobble etc.. anything you can think of.. the car will not actually alarm but itll send a text message on my iphone.. i can also see a live update of my car on the MAPS app of the iphone to see where its location.. i think its a great investment.. i paid about $700 installed..

My '00 Civic Si had an immobilizer. That didn't stop them from taking it and torching it just a few miles away.

Immobilizers are not 100% theft proof.

Wtf would even be the point to stealing this car? Parts are not in a high demand.

Where do you unfortunate folks live!? Come to Maine, everyone is friendly. None of this crap. My door is always unlocked (house and car), come in if you need anything.

Sorry to hear man. Back in college, one year, my car was broken into everytime midterms came along. It's one of the worst feelings when you approach your car and notice something wrong.
