As many of you might know, my car was stolen at square one 2 weeks ago and she was found tonite in a parking lot in toronto. The deck, amps, subs , my new era baseball hat? are all gone. On top of that the engine is leaking alot of oil and is not drivable. But to my suprise, the ignition is still in tact and not broken at all. My question is, is there anyway to hotwire a car without breaking the ignition ? or does sumone have a duplicate of my key?

It's not too hard to get a key code from a dealer and a lock smith to cut a set of keys.

Your lucky, at least you got your car back.

It is indeed possible to take the car without even touching the ignition.

it was outside the zellers parking lot in between the threater and zellers at around 6-8 pm sept 26

its really easy to hotwire a car if you know what the wiring diagram is. anyone who has done electrical on a civic should be able to hotwire it.

i can hot wire civics..

aside.. selling an amp, sub and some hats... i kid i kid....

thankfully you got it back.. wonder why its leaking oil.
insurance cover the missing items?

fingolfin

honestly, invest in an alarm with an immobilizer...

a thief that can get around alarms and immobilizers won't waste his time on civics, he'll be stealing porsches and such

Thing u can do to try a stop them.

#1 removeable steering wheel hub ( this is good 4 the gone in 60 seconds type but some use tow trucks )
#2 Good alarm with a back up battery ( i have a horn in the fender and under the dash, you need ear plugs to stop your ears from bleeding )
#3 fuel or ignition cut off ( no fuel no go - no power no go )
#4 have you seen snakes on a plan! lol just a joke dont put a snake in your car it might bit you on the ****! like in the movie.

I used to be able to start and drive my friends old Del Sol with my civic key.

Always raised questions when we'd come out of a bar, and his car would be on the far side of the parking lot

Would those bar locks for steering wheel help?

Honestly speaking, if a theif wants your car no matter how much you do, they can find a way.

For a quick ****** and grab, if there were two cars parked beside each other, one with a club, and one without, the one without a club would have a higher probability of being tampered with.
So short term, yes, but long term, no.

unfortunatly, my insurance does not include theft

the club does jack ****, cut thru the steering wheel and pull it off, now the club that u put on the brake/clutch pedal, apparently they work good
