Subarina got broke into once but they didn't get much. A ps2 controller, my cell phone charger and a few tapes.

Yes, stuff was stolen, no alarm
Many years ago, my '93 Plymouth Laser (Mitsubishi Eclipse) was broken into, someone smashed the window for my (then) girlfriend's purse.
I learned to watch and prevent friends from leaving things like purses and keys in plain sight when we park. I also learned to get an alarm, although I still have to put one on Sylvia. (Whitey already has his.)

back in seattle, in a gated back yard no less, my car was broken into but they only ruined my head unit trying to remove it by what I would guess to be prying on the faceplate. ![Rolling Eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif)
here in CO it is soooo safe. my old neighbor was kind of an idiot, he left his garage door open when he leaves for the air force, with a sub box of 2 15's a really nice leather chair and a nice mountain bike. I always would go shut it for him, but damn was he lucky.

I bought a CLUB steering wheel lock yesterday for my SS...because Matt's TW getting stolen on Sunday made me think...and $26 for a good theft deterrent ain't much

Since my door locks are still screwed up because I'm too lazy to fix them, for some reason, when someone tries my door handle when it's locked, it becomes extremely difficult to turn the key to unlock the door, almost to the point of bending/breaking the key. I then go and unlock the passenger door, and open my door from the inside so as to prevent that.
So, I have, on more than one occasion, walked out to my car and found the key hard to turn, which means someone tried my door.
I honestly don't know what they would want... I have no change laying around inside, I have an old-ass CD player, and that's all my ICE, and it's a 16-year old Subaru, in Florida no less...

Yeah... frankly, I will feel a little safer once I've got my vehicles on my land, in my garage, and away from this increasingly-insane city.

I'm trying to decide a security path to take before I start putting more money into my SS. I end up parking in some unsavory areas, and I really need to do something for the security.
Personally, I'm thinking about re-keying all the locks on the car with a complete set of ones from a wrecked WRX or something. I need to do some research to see about the possibilities of interchangability. My cylinders are starting to get worn out and finicky.
Our cars are really easy to get in to. I've broken in to my RS twice, and I'm sure the legacy would be easier, as there is more play in the window. An alarm would help, but only to a point. If someone wants to steal your car, they'll take it. Alarms only stop honest people.

Anyone have one of those removeable steering wheels? Would probably only be any good when you park it at home unless you want to be the cool kid bringing his wheel in with him to the store or whatever, but a lot of cars seem to be stolen or broken into at home.
