That blows. :-/
Hopefully the insurance payout is greater than what you put into it.
That's E36 M3ty.
My friends think I'm paranoid because I pay extra rent to keep my '90 in the garage where I live. I assure them, I'm not.
That blows. Removable steering wheel is a must on civics parked street side. Also hidden kill switch.

Shame I didn't have it on my policy.
I'm trying to stay positive, it might turn up.
Bonus points for it being hands down the car that I've invested the least into.

Yes. Tires turned into the curb, steering lock engaged, remove steering wheel. Kill switch or pull plugs/fuses. One thief must of got frustrated that he couldn't steal it away, I woke up to my tires slashed instead of a missing car.
OP hope the car turns up.
Got a letter from the local PD, telling me that I needed to get in touch with them, that unless I did so, they'd take the car off the stolen vehicle registry.
Finding the car and not telling the police about it...
That'd be a sure fire way to get pulled over and removed from my own car at gunpoint for driving a stolen vehicle.
Come on.
Serious question though, does law enforcement have official policies in place concerning how much or little effort they put in to finding specific stolen vehicles?
I can't blame them for not doing any actual work to retrieve a POS 25 year old honda, am simply curious if it's part of their procedure.
Also, if you do recover it, go to d-series.org. I've been a member there for years. Those guys are geniuses. Ef hatch or whatever it's called these days is the "hondatech" of anything d or b powered
judging by the 8 month gap between his posts, the hope of "if you do recover it" has disappeared.
Yeah, I've no expectation of it being recovered.

From the experiences of the people around me, the only time they actively look for a stolen car is if you witnessed it being stolen so they have a fighting chance to see it on the road. (A friend's trailer was stolen, his neighbor saw it leaving, they called the police and they happened to see it going up the Interstate. Because there was a car in the trailer, the charges got way worse)
Because beyond that... how far can you drive a car in ten minutes? How much area does that represent? How many man-hours would it take to search that space?
(I discovered while searching about title issues that most stolen cars are towed right to a scrapyard, where they get turned in with a fake/reused title. Sickening.)
In reply to Knurled:
That's pretty much how it goes. Except that with Hondas it's pretty much in some guys garage. It's also probably in a million pieces and sold on craigslist and hondatech. This my #4 reason why I'll never buy older Hondas anymore.
