240sx Stolen Rate

Hi guys, I just bought a 98' 240sx, and from day one to now, I'm so worry for it getting stolen by thevies since it happened to me before with my one of my old cars. So here, I tried to search the stealing rate for 240sx, but turns out nothing. I hope anybody has the information about it or even experience on it. Please post it here. BTW, I'm located in San Francisco, CA, and I do got a garage, but I still afraid at the time when my 240 leaves the garage. Hope to get some answers soon. thanks!

Frank

Hey man, yes it is not anything like a Lamborgini or Ferrari for the ppl who are too rich to have them driving on weekends, but indeed it is not a Lamborgini, it is our daily drivable car, which it is the only car for many of us. This is my only car and I value it like no others. If there would be a time I have a Lamborgini, I would care less about it since I would have so much money and I don't even bother to see what is under the car.
