    One of my cusins got a 04 Blue Sti. When he and his wife came out to the car from a BAsketBall game in Downtown Mpls his car was gone. That was last year and his car was not found still....hmmm I'm kinda thinking kinda weird about it. Aniwais he got a 2000 Audi S4 TwinTurbo now... Bad luck to him..... THEN his younger brother with his 03 Lancer Evo was jacked a few times but the Hi-jackers can't still the car due to some advanced Computer whatever thingie that shuts off the Engine when you try to HOt wire it and put into 1st gear. But it was broke in a few times. I would think Security on the Evo is better then the Sti...

    Why cant people get jobs and work hard, then they would'nt need to steal other peoples hard earned cars. I guess its a down side of having a nice car, sad as it is. I heard 05 and up STi and 07 WRX and Impreza's are hard to steal because of the chips in the keys. I like to think if I caught someone trying to steal my car I would beat them almost to death, maybe not. It pisses me off just to think about the kind of people that steal cars.

    05+ have immobilizers, they can't start the car without the key (the key has the chip in it), but it doesn't mean, they can't steal it, there is always a way around it lol

    LMAO... your info is some what correct and uncorrect LOL. I'm that cousin you're talking about and yes my brother sold his EVO and went back to a Honda.

    No, I do not have a 2000 S4 but a 2001 S4 LOL. Ok, they look the same except difference in a few internal parts.

    Welcome to the board!

    Meng, security on the 03 EVO > 04 STi but in 05 STi, they have the same key disabler system as well.

    I heard from one of the insurance web sites that the EVO is quickly becoming one of the top 10 most stolen cars.. is this true or just a myth?

    ...until someone yells "Thief!" and points at you...bye bye. All it takes is an accusation, not proof. Other than that, I am with you.

    Tough to live in Indonesia these days! That is somewhere I will NOT be visiting during my lifetime. ;)

    I know the shoe can be on the other foot. I was using hyperbole. ;)

    But when we catch Dahmer with his Mr. Potatohead collection and he gets life in the grey-bar hotel, I think something is wrong.

    good point... I got an email once about a 7 yr old boy in india that got caught stealing a loaf of bread, so they had his arm strapped over a block and a crowd around as they drove the car over his arm and mangled it for punishment... a 7yr old starving kid... cultures like that breed that sort of crap.. eat the damn sacred cows so your kids dont starve...
