Default Warning To So Cal Tuners

Please make sure you lock your cars, park them at lit open areas, and make sure your Yakima's and Thule's are secure. In the last couple weeks I've heard of homies getting jacked. One of our very own Gumby aka Ryan from Fuscion got his entire Yakima set up stolen along with his Mega Loader. Pls Ryan had locks on his Yakima. Proves that if they want it they will take it. All they left him were dents and scrathes on his RS3. Now this morning a dude on NWP found out this morning when he walked out of his house in Chino Hills that his GSR was stolen.

And here's where I come in. Yesterday afternoon around 2pm the security guards here at my work told me that they caught 2 dudes in our parking structure peeking inside my xB and left. Our cameras here at work couldnt see a car they jumped into. This would be the 4th attempt.

So again watch your stuff guys! Here's some pointers I got from my pop's homie:

- dont bump in parking lots PERIOD. Attention will bring you issues
-try to watch for someone following you at night or day
-suspicous vehicles randomly driving by your house. Look for repetetive lookers
-dont showoff to random people in weird places wanting to see what you have in your car. What they see is what they get. period.
-Alarms suck and just make noise that no one cares about! Your best alarm is be undercover at all times. Unless you have Onstar, GPS, or other tracking devices.

The GSR doesn't surprise me very much, mainly because Civic's and Integra's are still constantly stolen. Someone tried to steal my front lip off of my Civic but stopped after loosening three brackets.

Sucks to hear that happen to anyone. My GSR was stolen on a trip to vegas bout 2 yrs ago sux more about it even had a club on the pedal, it still stardles me on how they took it but like Kirby says what they want they take. I still think they used a towtruck. but i dunno when I found it =*(**
another advice dont bump around your neighborhood it's not worth showing off.

i came from the Honda world and stolen Hondas was a everday occurence thanks to the lord mine never was..couple things for advice for added security
2 way alarm with back up battery and another siren(louder the better)
fuel cut off they are probably the only thing that actually works and more switches the better.
last but not least try not to show off and it wont draw that added attention and when worst comes to worst 12 gauge shotty does the trick..hate thieves!

yep, you have to be very careful out here.

if you are being followed (following your every move, ie. freeway interchange, lane changes, stop on the side of the street, etc) for a good 10-15min, best to do is to call the cops or stop in front of the nearest police department. DO NOT think about speeding up and try to loose that other car. IMO, that wont happen (unless you do some illegal things).

One of the guys in SA Nor*Cal found his xB on blocks after going out with his wife. They stole all 4 of his SM/xxr 002. The car was parked infront of his house.

Yeah be careful guys. Lots of shady business lately! My house was broken into while we were there sleeping. We have since then installed an alarm.

Best advice I can give is know the area and be aware of whats going on around.
