Tomb said "- (if nothing is worth stealing in the car) - consider even leaving it unlocked. That might sound radical but at least it saves you having to replace another window.
- use an immobilizing device such as a club. Yes, those can be cracked as well (literally...) but it takes more time. Not worth for hobby thieves, and pros don't mess with crappy little Civics (no insult, I have one too ;)"
I disagree. NEVER leave a Civic unlocked! I may be gettin off-topic here (break-ins for valuables vs stealing cars). Civics are high target cars for theives primarly for their parts, not the valuables left inside. My 1992 Civic si was recently stolen. A few days later it was found. It was missing the rims and tires (originals, not fancy aftermarket wheels), steering wheel, instrument cluster, rear speaker covers (the factory ones, hard to find for a hatchback!), rear deck lid, pistons for holding the rear window open, plastic rocker panels and the trim around the radio antenna. The theives also took the time to exchange the hood, both doors, and the tailgate for junky parts. Needless to say, I barely recognized my car when I went to ID the body. Also needless to say, it was wrote off by my insurance company. The one thing that surprised me was that the theives left my Alpine in dash CD player put. I had neglected to remove the face but they left that on the floor. They did take the remote though. Also the speakers along with the doors. They also missed my two amplifiers which were well hidden under the dash on passenger side. Pros do mess with crappy little Civics! Mine had 384000 kms on it and was barely driveable since the clutch cylinders were needing replacing...Oh man I could make this post twice as long to list everything that waas wrong with that car. Lets just say there was mixed feelings when I saw it gone and realized some complete moron had stolen it!
