ITR is named #1 most stolen
 

I guess many of you know by now, but it was on the news today and on MSN.com, that the Integra Type R was rated as the # 1 most stolen vehicle in the world. It was chosen over many BMW's and other fancy vehicles. My question, why isn't the civic type r in there. They were talking about the teg to be considered extremely beautiful, which i agree with. :)

Re: ITR is named #1 most stolen
 

because there's no civic type R in the US....eliminating all US theft numbers for that car. DER

and integras are ugly without the japanese front end.

Re: ITR is named #1 most stolen
 

true that, i love the japanese front end. What was the yearly production number for teg type r's wasn't it real low. I'm only 21 and i was in seventh grade when they came out.

Re: ITR is named #1 most stolen
 

Somehow that doesn't surprise me at all.

I'd also guess that more of them are stolen from socal than any other area.

Re: ITR is named #1 most stolen
 

It's not specifically the ITR but ALL Integra coupes.

Don't we as a Honda/Acura community already know this? Get a dog, its the best car alram.

Re: ITR is named #1 most stolen
 

Yeah, that was the first time i had ever seen an integra top the list, though. On MSN, they single out the type r.

Re: ITR is named #1 most stolen
 

2 years ago integra hit 6 or 7 out of the top 10 sports :(

Re: ITR is named #1 most stolen
 

it's virtually impossible to steal a bimmer or benz with out a flat bed therefor making it hard for all those ------- fobs to jack them

Re: ITR is named #1 most stolen
 

they were made 97,98 and 00,01 or somehtin, and like under 3000 made each year

Re: ITR is named #1 most stolen
 

ive heard this before but yeah my teg got broke into this past weekend but they left the car though. I like the dog as an alram cause that would do some damage. Train the thing to bite the guys nuts off and ----

Re: ITR is named #1 most stolen
 

Did you actually read it? because nowhere in the article do they even mention the Type R.... Just show the Type R and say "pictured here is the integra type r"

Re: ITR is named #1 most stolen
 

Sorry, i guess i thought they were refering to the type r in particular.

Re: ITR is named #1 most stolen
 

Ya there was like a total of 20,000 brought to the states and its the most stolen. You think they really break down the #'s depending on a level. Its body style/car/generation that its broken down too hence 94-01 integra etc.

Re: ITR is named #1 most stolen
 

I want one

Re: ITR is named #1 most stolen
 

here in az 99-00 SI's are numberone stolen. I dont like Type r's, even with full bolt on's i walk them in my POS neon, and the compression is too high for a comfortable turbo setup

Re: ITR is named #1 most stolen
 

----! i wish they would get it ------ right one of these days, then i wouldn't have to deal with a half stolen integra. ----!

Re: ITR is named #1 most stolen
 

Personally, i think a good theft deterrance for you guys who have a lot of stolen cars in your area is to just jack the car up on its side and make people think its non operable. If you have a descent hydraulic jack, its like a 2 min job before you go to bed.... Anyone Agree?

Re: ITR is named #1 most stolen
 

the 99 civic SI is 20 on the list

Re: ITR is named #1 most stolen
 

they tried to steal my friends car and it was on a jack. they made it down the block then he put a few rounds in the thieves car

Re: ITR is named #1 most stolen
 

sounds like a good way to have ur jack stolen too.

Re: ITR is named #1 most stolen
 

yeah for the longest time it was a toss up from accords to camerys but now its def the tegs and SIs. but hey thats what happens when you make a great product thats so versitile.
