Scov had a green (!) demo nicked, but they left it in a hedge to cool off & it was recovered with minimal damage.
that was nicked with the keys

I think CC is right in that this would be the first one nicked without them

I little gizmo I saw at an auto show.

Locks on to a tyre valve and deflates it anything over 10 mph!
Never heard of one of them. I'd be interested in reading more about one of them

Sorry to hear about the car kitkat. Hope the insurance claiming isn't too stressful.

Someone on the S2000 Talk thread mentioned concealing a fuel pump cutoff switch in the cabin. That sounds like a cheap but effective extra level of security. Anyone here done that, or could comment on how difficult it might be?

Sorry to hear about this!

I reckon first port of call would be those who fitted your stereo.

S2000's aren't exactly known for their nickability!

Don't the tyre deflators gismos just mean that the miscreants will end up losing control and stacking your car when the tyres go flat...or possibly mowing down innocent bystanders.

They sound a bit dodgy to me...
