Ill keep this short..

As you all know there is a lot of Civic/Integra thefts going around the area. I got a call today from a UA Police officer warning me of parking my car in several areas. He said they have had 10 cars recently stolen. I dont want to give out too much info because Im sure they are on here. Basically, dont park in a parking deck.
PM me if you have any questions..

This isn't just Akron. I'm sure everyone knows about the thefts from Kent and stark state as well as the whole Cleveland area.

Have the RSX cars ever been at risk? I never hear much about them being in demand ... probably because the engine is in backwards from the Hondas. I live in Akron.

Wonder if this is the same group that stole my '99 Civic SI in 2008... hmm

It was stolen from the Baldwin-Wallace College parking lot, so it seems to fit their style.

Probably, this same group stole two of my buddies Civic EX's in 2007 and 2008.

How much was missing when the car was found? Was it found on steelies parked somwhere?

Yes. It had the engine, trans, stereo (aftermarket) gauge cluster, and seats removed. Everything really that made it SI specific.

It had steelies with snow tires when it was stolen... it was found with the same wheels/tires. Guess there isn't much a of black market for snow tires.

I think the cops said it was found in the 200s of east cleveland. But it was the city that called me and told me to get my car out of impound before the cops called me. Sucks because I literally saw this car drive away from me as I was walking out of class.

This was the interior... filled with snow to boot.
