    A couple of hours ago my alarm went off so I went outside to check out, I walk around the car to find no visible damage. Another hour passed & again the alarm goes off. I ran out as soon as it went off & this time I find my passenger side window shattered but the door not open. It seems they tried to pry open the door but causing the glass to shatter. I guess whoever did it took off before I could see them. I've already called the police & they just left after getting my info. I also removed anything valuable from my car, pretty must cleaned it of any valuables. Right now my heart is racing so fast I’m not going to sleep easy tonight, I had my car stolen before when I lived in Houston but got it back a day later. Sometimes I wonder why crap like this happens to me. Go figure.

    Im not even suprised. The Integra is one of the most stolen cars; every import tuner wants one or want their Integra to look like it. I drive a Legend and haven't ever had a problem but all these other high end imports like Type R's, S2000 and Supras , etc are bound to get broken into or stolen sooner or later.

    Sorry to hear about the incident though, people just dont know how to work for their money anymore. Wish the world was a perfect world.

    I pulled the ECU fuse just in case, if they want so badly they're going to have to get a tow truck. The strange thing is I live in a nice area of town with very little crime, infact the mayor of Ft. Worth lives just three blocks from me. I think someone has just been scoping out my car for mod parts or maybe just a smash & grab, the problem is I’m living in an apartment without gates or a garage. No issues in the past two years until tonight, damn. I thought the Integra thefts were just starting to decline, I was dead wrong.

    smart idea on pulling the ECU fuse, at least make them work for it. I had a friend who almost had his 300ZX stolen, they broke into the window and whatnot but he had removed the battery since he wasn't going to be driving it for a few months (off with military). So they couldn't start it and get away with it.

    Fuck it, I can't sleep & I have work in a couple of hours. Here's the pics. Btw, at least nothing was stolen from the inside. It must be my response time, keeping the shotgun handy. Pry marks & dents on the upper piller (sorry for the crappy photo), a part of the tool also broke off inside the window. I hope the dumbass that attempted this gets CANCER FOR CHRISTMAS.

    A friend is the same way...but someone still bashed out his window and stole his CD player with the detachable faceplate removed.

    There's a reason why they are petty criminals.

    If you are serious about auto theft relocate your ignition lines and the key access itself. I did that to my car and have it on the floor now, much like trying to start a TVR tuscan you'd have a hard time starting that Supra if I didn't show you how. The fuses are a good idea but if you want to take this one step further like I have, get an aftermarket steering wheel and have it machined to a unique key for your steering mount and remove the wheel when you are away. Besides, it makes me feel all giddy inside when I jump in through the window and attach the wheel and shoot out the driveway Le Mans style.

    Come to think of it, I don't lock mine either. But then again, mine is in a locked garage.

    I want to thank everyone for their support, I'm going to keep this short due to the fact I've been working most of the day, dealing with the Fort Worth Police Department, getting the glass replaced, & only having 1 hour of sleep due to the massive stress. I'm pretty sure my car was targeted because no other reports came in in my area & they made two theft attempts.

    My friend's integra was stolen not once, but twice!!!

    First time from a supermarket parking lot, was found a few hours later a town over.

    Second time from a movie parking lot (known for auto theft)

    Found a few towns over, i think the following day.

    LUCKY BAST@RD!

    I had my street/track car on the watch, someone was trying to get funny late at night. I was one of the first to move in at my subdivision and it was lonely and dark, the Ferrari and the Porsche took the whole garage. So I took a rattlesnake and I would leave her at night loose inside the car and in the morning I would take the serpent out and back into the cage, I did this for 3 months.
