Own a 1990-2000 Honda? You may want to consider a steering wheel lock.

Homemade "shaved key" recovered from car thief

We’ve seen several incidents during the past year involving 1990-2000 Honda sedans, including several that were stolen and later recovered. Most likely the thieves are using a “shaved key” which allows easy access into and the ability to start many older Hondas, Acuras, and Toyotas. If you own one of these vehicles, save yourself some hassle and invest in a steering wheel lock. These locks are available at General Store and O’Reilly Auto Parts (both are 11 blocks north of GU on Division) for $25-$50 depending on the model.
