Theft Rate on GS300?
Just going to throw what I think the above break down means... seeing the last numers are the rate out of 100... Since the GS ranges from 1-3 its very low on the list.
Meaning it hardly if ever gets stolen, and insurance based off theft would be low.

The only logical way that your gs could most likely get stolen is if you leave your keys in the ignition and put an open sign on the door, otherwise i would think that your safe with keeping your car in your hands
Yep, any car can be flat-bedded. Doesn't matter how good of a alarm system you have, it can still be towed away. However, most car thieves aren't going to do this because they don't have access to a tow truck. Most of them just go around popping locks and ignitions on easy cars and drive the whole car away. With a GS, you might have the windows busted in and some parts taken, but it's not as likely for the whole car to be driven away unless it's towed.
I remember reading like 10 years ago about some guys routing their ignition through the cigarette lighter and the car wouldn't start unless the lighter was in the socket to complete the circuit. Something to that effect. Pretty smart when that could be applied in a lot of different ways if you have a car without good security. Then again, if someone wants something bad enough, they'll find a way to get it.
manual kill switches. this use to be very popular in the acura/civic scenes.
if you vehicle is a normal daily driven there is almost no worries unless a chop shop is in need of parts and like stated above towed away. saw one a few months back of a GS completely gutted and dropped off right at one of the busiest intersections in brklyn NY. "bay parkway & 18th avenue"

I havent got my car stolen *knock on wood* but i got my spoilers stolen and lips stolen off my car. I know friends that got visors stolen, lips stolen. Car being stolen not likely(yet).
I haven't heard that one before. Low life thieves..
just recently my friends type r teggy got stolen. he has a pager alarm and his quick release steering wheel is always by his side when hes away from it. Next thing ya know it was gone so the theives must have towed it away. Prolly in LA right now ina chopshop.
Cool story bro. 
Oh I wouldn't be surprised if the ITR was jacked. If I were to get one I wouldn't even bother with any basic alarm system. I would've went straight to the GPS tracking device. I heard that thing works wonders.
Thats wassup! I'm glad to be helping other people out.

Ok so tonight I walk outside to go to the store and a tow truck is parked in the parking spot next to me in my apartment complex( i park in the back spots not the front nearest to the building because i don't want people near my car walking in and out of the building)
It's 11 o'clock at nite and the guy just looks suspicious, there's no one outside or around just him parked next to me backed into a parking spot
I walk to my car get in and soon as i get in my car the guy pulls off
At this point i'm already paranoid thinking this just doesn't look or feel rite
I see the name of the tow company on the side of the truck(should've got the license plate too)
So me being paranoid and nervous i call the tow company and ask them if they sent anyone of there guys to my apartment complex tonight..........The guy tells me NO so i tell him what i saw and he again tells me that none of his guys were supposed to be in that area and i just hung up cus i was pissed
Now Am i just paranoid or was this guy plotting on stealing my car(which is stock other than tails and HID"s) but it's excellent shape and it's black.
I'm really paranoid
What you guys think was something about to go down soon? Could the company be shady possibly or am i overreacting?
P.S. I don't live in the ghetto by the way I live in the burbs
