IM THINKING ABOUT BUYING A SCION TC AND PUTTING MAJOR MODS INTO IT BUT IM NOT SURE WATS THE THEFT RATE ON THEM CAN ANY ONE HELP ME PLEASE? ARE THE SCION TC EASY TO STEAL?

 

not really. If you're going with major mods get a decent alarm system.

 

go try and see how far you get, then come back and tell us? Havent heard any stories on people getting it stolen tho. BTW- turn off the "caps lock".

 

where are you from? Is there a lot of car thefts around there to begin with?

 

^ yup. If your gonna do "major mods" you might as well get an alarm system. I have a viper 791xv in mine and love it makes me feel a lil bit safer.

 

It's a shame that car alarms are being depicted as a source of irritation. When I hear car alarm goes off, I only think that someone roughly drove by the vehicle or it is a cause of some accidental vibration in the surrounding. Unless it is your car, you'll probably mitigate your caution when other cars’ alarm goes off anyway.

 

I wouldn't think it would be too high with the engine killswitch.

 

if someone really wanted your car they'd just tow it away.

 

That is why you get lowjack

 

depends on where u live or go. A profesional can steal anything, just will take him longer.

 

Alarms are OK...like said already....If someone "really" wants your car they will just take it!!...

 

Does theft rate really matter? Why would that change your decision? Everyone has auto insurance. The odds of it being your car stolen are slim, and if someone wants it, they will take it reguardless.

 

I don't know what other car you're comparing to, but the tC theft rate is most likely going to remain lower than the Civic because of the sheer number of Civics on the road. Whenever there's more models of a car on the road there's going to be more demand for parts, legal and illegal.

 

i got lojack installed in my car when i bought it, just for the lojack system alone it was 800, which made it like 8 more bucks a month, not bad..
if your that worried, just get the lojack

 

I have both an alarm, and an engine kill switch when on my injectors dont pump gas. Unless they want to tow my car lol.

 

Yea I agree with everyone else. I think car alarms (imo) are a big waste of money. Your money is best well spent with lojack then a car alarm.

I actually think the tC theft rate might go up. I see a lot of tCs now on the road than Civics (maybe it's because I live in socal). All these girls driving tCs and old ladies. I have nothing against them, but it just makes the tC a Civic now.

 

put it this way my insurance dropped 1000 when i went from a 04 civic ex 2 a tc

 

i got a sticker on my side window. "if you steal it burn it"

 

I

 

Guys im not a big fan of alarms either but i had to buy the new symtec visionguard 8000 its pretty tight it has motion sensors and a camera,. Look it up its worth the money.
