Hey, I was wondering how often all of you have heard of EVOs getting stolen or broken into. I'm buying mine soon here, but would like to know how paranoid I should be. Of course I would be paranoid anyways, but I'd like to hear some live real life experience.

 

You hear about if pretty often... But then again people are more likely to make a thread about their car being stolen than to make one that post HEY my car didn't get stolen, cool!

 

I am on my 3rd window. But, for about a year i did have to park it in a crappy part of the neighborhood, because that is where the train station was, so i could go to work. After the second time it got broken into, i started driving further to a nicer neighborhood to park.

It costs more but i dont have the broken window problems anymore

 

I'd say depends on your neighborhood? I live in a decent area, so I dont worry so much about my car....Thats why they make insurance so if it happens, it happens?

 

I understand what you're saying. I'm not worried about my neighborhood as it is getting garaged as I could leave it outside unlocked and it probably wouldn't get touched. I am worried about friend's houses, the mall, etc... etc..

 

doesn't happen to me i live 3miles from my job, and if i have to drive in bad neighborhoods i just take the gf cars.

 

The Evo is not high on the "Must Steal" list. I think thats what your after. Evo's dont have nearly the numbers of the Mustangs, Corollas, and Hondas, so they are not as desireable as the parts are harder to move.

 

I've haven't had any off my cars stolen/broken into, maybe I found a way to stop it..........












Oh yeah, KEEP IT IN A GARAGE.

 

I was living in a nice neighborhood, and my freaking stock rims got jacked. Go figure. I think I know what my next mod will be though, 40cal semi-auto.

 

The numbers of evos made are fewer than most other cars so the likelyhood is alot less.

 

gettin your car stolen can happen anywhere...nice neighborhood or bad neighborhood. you need to take precaution to prevent it from happening. dont' keep valuables in plain sight, doors unlock, etc..... Evos aren't high on the most stolen list though.........at least not yet. if the worst do happens, that's what insurance are for.

 

My roommate's Ford Ranger got broken into a couple weeks ago. She parks right next to me. They stole her stereo and left my evo alone. It is probably because I have the stock stereo in mine, despite having several other mods. She had an upgraded deck in hers.

 

an alarm prabably would help alittle but the evos have immobilizers right?

 

True, hence the fat-*** key.

 

I have heard of EVO being but on blocks before and all electronice being taken
