Civics have been stolen in huge numbers in recent years. The etching goes beyond the glass in many instances by the way. Its on parts as well. The car has a somewhat sophisticated immobilizer relative to previous years FYI. Lots of dealers basically install LoJack on every car that comes in and charge 695 for it unless you balk a bit.

There are more parts than folks realize on the 2006 civics that are num bered for security/theft reasons.



Time will tell though.
