My friend just had his Integra stolen about a month ago too.
Was found stripped a week later in a ditch.
I have thought of getting an aftermarket alarm system for my car, but my friend had an aftermarket alarm and it obviously didn't help matters any.
Anyone ever come across or have experience with a PIN type ignition lockout? This is the only one of its kind I've come across online - so far...
I don't like the looks of that list.
That's really bad Honda. And they've had 10 years to do something about it.Last I read Integra's are popular because thieves rip off the engine block. How can anyone think of doing that to a Honda?
Good thing I keep my in a garage most of the time. Hopefully I can avoid the bad guys though. I really love my Integra. 
I noticed that all the Integras stolen are those that don't have the immobilizer installed in them. I believe they were standard in '99 but can't be absolutely sure on that. My '01 definitely has it. I don't live in a major metropolitan city but I still do keep my eyes out and keep it garaged all the time.
I think this is the most methodical strip job on a GSR that I've ever seen. These guys didn't miss a thing.

Wow! I think they forgot the antennae. 
They cut the roof?
If you look closely at the top of the A-pillar in the first picture, you'll see a cut line about one inch from the top of the windshield. Below is another shot of this cut with either a jigsaw or reciprocating saw. Any idea why the thieves did this? I've seen stripped Integras but never with a cut across the roofline.

Those are some scary pictures. Looks just like my car that is sitting in the garage...I think.
BRB, gotta go make sure it's still there

Actually the LS is just as popular, because the lower comp. ratio is ideal for turbo.
So it sounds like my Teg has a better chance of getting stolen and stripped than my NSX does.
Guess I'll get rid of the Teg INSTEAD of the NSX.

I'll take it, I need a b18b block for my 1.8ls/vtec project on my CRX Si
Maybe they break them down and make cheap tupperware for export

Especially that rubber bumper version. (awful if they even still make that) I think it's time for Saturn to step up to the HP plate like the Evo and WRX, not that I want to buy one.

wow, scarey but amazing photos.
They missed the glass -- that would have been worth something at the local pawn shop.
When will that integra end up on eBay?
