said by Cho Baka:Some old S##tboxes are stolen just because someone needed a ride and missed the last bus.
In a situation like this, a new car with an immobilizer will be ignored, and an old van like yours will become a first choice.
10 year old hondas and toyota's are todays choice since they can be started with a filed down key. Filed down key = master key for older cars . this is due to the wear on the cylinder and pins.
Even the local news channel was freely giving out this info.
