Unscrew and hide it. Thought of loc-tite, but thieves might do more damage trying to pry it off.

Wished I knew what thread the base is so I can go get a plastic plug the right size... anybody know what it is?

sucks man...i know volkswagens have the same problem. the s2k antenna actually fits on it. my friend has a jetta and his antenna keeps getting jacked too, so he takes it off and puts it in the glove box when its parked for a long time.

sorry to hear about that hamada. i have had friends buy s2000 antennas off ebay for something like $15 and have them stolen. i don't think $15 is too bad...but if it keeps getting stolen i would suggest taking it off and putting it somewhere in your car.

I think it would be cool if the antenna was mounted behind the wind-blocker inside the cabin. Then it would be hidden when the top is up, plus the fender would be clean shaven...
