- Police in Montgomery County have issued a warning to residents amid rising thefts of Honda vehicles over the last two months.
Upper Merion Township police are investigating fewer than a dozen cases and say thieves have targeted apartment complexes in the Gulph Mills area.
"I understand two tenants from the development have had problems," one resident of Gulph Mills Village Apartments told Actions News.

Hondas used to be the #1 cars stolen in America in the mid 90s to early 2000s guess that trend is coming back.
It's cause da key was so easy to make or duplicate
@@kojoowusu7009 nah some mf would break off the bottom cover of the steering column and either hotwire or screwdriver start it. Them shits was easy af
90s Honda civics are the best
Na Kia is the new Honda old Honda just need to rip out the ignition like Kia
They can't be the #1 stolen car... They'd have to reach the Kia/hyundai numbers if they want that spot back lmao
1/10 kia's are stolen istg
If they can’t steal you Honda they’ll steal your wheels
I never understand why stealing Honda's wheels. These wheels look rather average.

1. Cover the VIN on the dashboard
2. Use a steering wheel lock
3. Use a car cover
4. Install a dummy OBD II connector
5. Install a remote battery disconnect switch
6. Park with your front wheels turned to the left or right
7. Keep your key fobs in a faraday pouch
Is covering VIN legal?

Another example of worthless journalism. Tell a story but never got to the root of the problem to identify exactly how the theives are taking these cars so owners can put on defensive measures!
The answer is thieves are likely getting in through a replay/rolljam attack on the computer. This type of issue has been a thing for years.
You want a step by step guide on how to steal a Honda? So more kids can learn like what happen to Hyundai and kias?
They literally gave a list of defensive measures
Don't listen to thelegitalpha, it isn't all the answer, they usually target push to start vehicles since you just need a keyfob and a programmer. They may do a relay/rolljam attack but simpler to just lockpick it or break the windows. After getting in, they use the programmer in the odb2 to program the keyfob to immobilizer, and then start the car and go. CBC marketplace showed the thieves using lockpick and stole it in a couple of minutes with this method for push to start vehicles .
Critical thinking skills this few generations has been onn a steep decline. They can't form their own opinions and just parrot whatever they see is the most up voted on another videos comment section. Video literally gives out measures one can take to deter the theft. And the reason why they don't show how thieves steal the cars is so they don't spread the method to other bad characters.
Problem goes away immediately if we start looping off digits
Problem goes away when you elect Republicans 😅

Everything is a target for these lazy losers that prefer to take other people’s stuff instead of getting their own! I can’t stand thieves!! 🤬😡
time to arm yourself with the second amendment and make them think twice
no, they are not lazy. They work hard taking what they want. It's their culture. Hard workers according to their parents.
@@shaggydawg5419 shitty culture
Here in California and some other states kids are allowed to steal cars with no consequences as long as they are not physically harming anyone.
@@teeminator30 Trust me- the rest of the country is appalled at what’s happening in California. We all are paying attention. This country just needs to hit the reset button- what a joke it’s become…..
Steering wheel lock 🔐 company’s are about to start making a lot of money again like they did in 1995
Yes they are 💯
A battery disconnect switch is even better. They make them for boats. They work on cars too and the thief thinks your battery is dead.
@@MrLivewire1970 no its not, they wont smash ur window and break ur steering column if they see a wheel lock
@@ssadfadsfad I know people that used them and the thieves cut the steering wheel to remove the lock. Anything is better then nothing but I'd get a airtag too if it's really a concern.
They stole my shii with the club on it!!!
so if Honda knows there is a problem, they should supply the tracking for FREE, not charge for it.
oh believe me, they know they can. its a free market for them
Lawmakers are useless! It should be 20 years mandatory in jail for car theft including minors
It should be considered as harsh as driving without insurance, registration and impaired because they are clearly not in the right state of mind!
That’s why it’s so common nowadays.
Minors know they will get out that same day with a slap on the wrist.
Time to change the damn laws.
That helps nothing btw
Pounce on your local county government. They're the ones writing flaky laws that cater to criminals.
It’s not just Hondas, they can mimic the FOB signal from other car manufacturers too, including Toyota.
they say its not fob signals. probably an obd port hack.
They might get into my Toyota but I’ve still got an old school keyed ignition
@matthewcaughey8898 and they can hotwire those types of cars.
Wish they would specify which years of Honda they are targeting (instead of just saying "newer").
any of them with remote keyless entry, this is common for other brands too so yeah
@@k.skyl1n3zzthis isn’t that relay attack where they use the signal of the key fob . This is something different it seems.
I swear 🙄
@@justintime4466 They don't necessarily use the code but probably use a device to send out different tones on different frequencies very quickly in hopes that one will unlock (hence under 5 minutes) it may take the device a few minutes to generate the right signal on the right frequency. Some cars have more complex unlock systems, where it may need to verify with the fob (send a code back) before it can unlock, so simply tripping the lock with a signal on the right frequency, but I think some (for cost reasons) don't implement this extra step.
@@justintime4466 Just heard that my in-law cousin 4 years old Infinity was stolen overnight on street in front of his Brooklyn NY home. Checked the security footage and see a car pull along his parked car, broke a window, got in and drove away in a minute. Was able to track the car to NJ shipping pier then lost the signal. Heard from my NYC police nephew that the thieves now would use something like a emergency window air cartridge pin to shatter the window (low impact so the alarm would not be triggered), then a device that connects to car's OBD2 (computer) to override the car security immobilizer.
They can find you in your own car if you do a crime and running away, but the moment your car got stolen they can’t locate it 😅
A lock on the brake will definitely stop them. Thieves don’t want to take the time to work on the lock. I have a clutch lock on my Subaru STi with an AirTag hidden in the car. Plus people can’t drive stick nowadays 🤷🏾♂️
Stick is anti lock all in itself. No kid under 20 even knows what the third pedal does😊
Very true...lol
Sweet!
I'd argue that modern transmissions are probably harder to override in reality. Although if they can start the car, then it's easier, but if they can't a modern electronically controlled tnras is actually more secure because there are certain things that must happen to move it into different gears, controlled by the computer, whereas a manual is mechanical and if someone knows to push the clutch in to move the stick to a gear, that's all they need to know They don't need to know how to to drive a stick, just how to get it into a gear, which if the ycan figure out this, they can probably figure out to press a clutch pedal and move a gear shifter.
@@dmo848two of my 3 Hondas are sticks and all 3 used a traditional key and not the push button start.
So their solution is to spend money on their useless service and buy an AirTag? How about making it harder for thieves to steal cars by adding tougher encryption.
Pull the fuel pump or starter relay. It’s not going to go if the fuel can’t get to the engine or the starter doesn’t turn
Capitalism
Get a remote controlled starter relay, plus a Killswitch to the fuel pump
Get a club!! But don’t let Honda track you!
Oh the same club that you just cut the soft steering wheel and slip the club off? Lol noob
@@novajtv🤣 💯 anyone saying club don’t know how easy that thing is bypassed lol
It’s fake news. Brought to you by Russia crime is down nationwide.
It’s Russia Russia, Russia, all you gotta do to fix this. If it’s really happening is just vote Democrat. “Trust me” they’ll fix it this time.
A club what you must be still living in da 90s even early 2000s. We are in a tech age now. A club people will laugh at you
Or just install youre own tracker.
they can't steal your Honda if you don't have a car to begin with
😂😂😂😂
Get a manual version😆
Fr they will literally just won’t bother just put a sign on the car 6 SPEED MANUAL 😂
they dont make them
That’s why I got the civic si 🤣
Tow trucks dats alll i say tow truck can take it in seconds.
@@alexanderkennedy2969they stopped making accord manuals in 2019
Wow, they found out how to override the computer, imagine what they could have done if they didn't resort to crime. The average person probably doesn't even understand how it works.
Nah, these types of people will be criminals anyway. Some do it just to see if they can do it, and then maybe stop, but most it's a "job" for them and an income. Whether it's stealing cars or people's data or other tangible/intangible items. I would say only "white hat" hackers make a legitimate living doing this type of stuff, but they are generally legally hired and autohrized to hack a system for testing purposes.
This has been a warning for YEARS. Since even 2008, and Honda just hasn't done a damn thing about the issue. Consumers have gone after Kia and Hyundai for the past 4 years, and hard, but they haven't gone after Honda which was in the top 3 list for so long, but with Honda knowing that their cars were targeted for THAT LONG, why haven't they done anything? This is why I've stayed away from Honda since 2015 which was my last car I've ever owned. Fortunately, none of my Honda's (Civic EX, Accord), weren't stolen, but just knowing that Honda hasn't done anything, nor do they care enough to, really left a bad taste in my mouth.
get a manual transmission, best anti-theft system available
Imagine putting that much time and info into doing something productive. So now the consumer has to buy a subscription and a $90 air tag? I'm starting the think these corperations are in cahoots with the thieves. Mighty funny how now we need to put more money into their pockets when our stuff shouldn't be vulnerable to being stolen.
lol AirTags are subscription based? Omg I’m done with humanity!
@@natas12rmno he means the subscription for Honda car link
These were the most stolen cars in the 90s, too Philly...😶🍿
Glad I got an older Honda and use a club on my steering wheel
The same club that slides right off when you cut the soft steering wheel lol
😂😂😂 older hondas, civic and accord, are most stolen for decades. Look it up.
Buy an Alarm with fuel cut off, won't need a club after that.
@@novajtv why you crying about this in every comment lol get a life
These thieves need to get real jobs.
You’re right but unfortunately crime pays more if you’re good at it
@@StockTurboN20 Not this crime. The market for stolen cars is definitely a buyer’s market. No one wants to buy a stolen car for anything other than as a getaway vehicle. For example, the Connecticut Kia Boyz sell stolen Kias for like $100 to other criminals as burner cars.
It’s not often that criminals are good at crime, it’s more that they’re bad at integrating into society.
@@embedded_software again you’re correct
I installed a simple marine style battery disconnect switch from the positive terminal of my battery. If someone messes with my car, it will appear that my battery is dead. I can reach under my fender and turn it back on when I need to leave.
Be low-key
Oh this is really smart
I love Honda's
Thieves too
My 2017 Honda still uses a key to start so that means thieves have to use the good old method of hot wiring??
Yes but if you buy a steer wheel lock your good . Go to your hood and unplug the switch
I believe all Acura/Honda that use actual key. With immobilizer chip inside are much more difficult for theft. You will see “V” on the key shank towards the transmitter. Although if they want to steal it doesn’t stop them from getting a tow truck.
They don’t suggest an alarm system or going old-school and getting a club on the steering wheel. They say track your car so we can find it after it gets stolen when we have free time.
i got a civic LX 2019 with the mechanical ignition, not the button. Is it safer that the other ones ?
I remember in the 90’s higher trim level Hondas and some Toyota models like MR2s where being stolen for seats, radio and interior upgrades, people got the “Club” steering wheel lock bars but sadly OEM steering wheels have to be soft (easy to cut) metal for crash safety purposes.
They’ll steal your interior, radio and your “Club”
Got a RDX aspec and MDX type s
But I also got a gun and a garage.
They want brand new accords and civics not older models. They want to look rich while being losers
@@davidsgarage44 no accord or civic is gonna make you look rich.
@@nickm2294 To be fair, a reliable car is its own kind of luxury.
@@nickm2294who tf cares it’s gonna last longer then any supercar or German pos on the road
Two great things Guns and Garages
It’s because all of these cars have fobs instead of old school mechanical keys. Cars that are push to start are so much more easily stolen. They need to just make cars old school mechanical keys again
Idiots
Buy an Alarm with fuel cut off, thats what I have on my Honda. Car will only crank and not turn over with alarm activated.
The best thing to do is to install a secret kill switch in your car like I did. They can be purchased from Harbor Freight for around $7 bucks. You gotta make it hard for them to steal it. Most people are driving around with no line of defenses that's what the real issue here is. The switch ain't perfect but it's better than nothing at all.👍😎👌
A good case for putting less computer garbage in cars.
Use a dedicated GPS tracker unit instead of an airtag. If they have an iPhone the airtag will alert them but a GPS tracker unit inside the paneling will not alert anyone regardless of what phone they have. Plus apple has too much of your data anyway.
Just install a gas or power line disconnect switch no power no gas no go
He want manufacturers to do more....how about lawmakers do more?!
How new a Honda? So if we have one purchased before 2020 we’re safe?
It would have been nice to know what model years are suddenly being stolen more often.
When it comes to security you have to have a failsafe - a mechanical as well as an electronic one.
It's 2024, why can't I have some kind of keycode or password to start my car?!
They have that on Tesla. You can set a passcode to start the car.
Umm..is this referring to the ones with a push to start system? Or in general, keyless or keyed entry?
Push to start
Honda gang. Take mines!! Tired of my car payment.
I had my Honda accord 21 stolen, went straight to Volvo don’t have to worry about that no more.
A little bit old school but I think The Club is still pretty frustrating to today's young thieves. They probably just move on.
Toyota Rav4 is also on the list. They pop out your headlights.
Yup
Damn
Lexus RX 350 as well.
The Honda dealership destroyed my 2019 accord sport 2.0 transmission after they recommended that I do a transmission fluid change and is refusing to repair it.What can I do about this situation?
Sue them
The manufacturer don’t care because if your car get stolen you will buy another one
Connect a GPS tracker with a fuel pump shut down feature. You can stop the car anytime you want with that and you can find the location of the car too. No one can steal the car when fuel pump doesn't work. I have put one in my car.
I got that plus a Killswitch plus a remote controlled starter relay. It all cost less than $100. People are lazy and don't want to learn these things to protect themselves.
@@sergioperymind helping me out on where I can purchase these things for under $100 I’m willing to buy it just need the right direction on where to buy
@@xXTheNextKillerxX Amazon usually has deals on those things, but there are professional shops that can get it done.
I think most BestBuy's can install them. One of the popular companies is called Viper.
i guess its not just hyundai kia like you guys tried to make it seem
This applies to any car.
Plug into obd port, make a new key. Good to go.
Security architecture for new cars needs a major overhaul.
With my experience with these new Hondas, making them smarter and more advanced has essentially made them dumber and easier to steal.
I used to have kill switch on my cars, in plain sight. We'd get a factory option button for an option my car didn't have and run the line from the keyswitch to the starter relay through that. You had to hold the button while turning the key.
Which one?
The newer car models that have wireless keys. If you have the older model where you have to use old fashion key, you are fine.
Well that wasn't helpful, what year Accords and Civic???
What years, even the new ones?
The Honda boyz 😅
This isn't news, bro. But this is why we buy aftermarket detatchable steering wheels and a lot more anti theft device. But then get state reffed and cited for having a detachable steering wheel and other antitheft devices 💀
All the Si and Type R drivers chuckling right now!
Another reason my next car will be a manual.
Having my Honda civic si stolen twice in the mid 90s traumatized me for sure. Second time I didn’t get it back. Even at cost of be reliable the fact that their cars are easily stolen is a Honda issue. I’d avoid them again…well I have, not owned one since 1995.
put steering wheel club , obd port lock . aftermarket alarm with kill switch and vVibration Motion sensor .
A common case of turning friend to foe. Ex industry workers seeking revenge will never diminish 🥴🤧🤷🏾♂️
Manual transmission = anti-theft mechanism 🤣
I- this is crazy bruh!
Now Honda's
The Honda boys are back!
Rule number 1 when get home take out the cables from the battery have ur own key to open door i have changed mine already
take out starter fuse or spark plug wires.
Everyone wants a honda even thieves know theyre the best cars👍
ok Don...thanks
It has to have been done with a Flipper Zero, there’s no way this could be a manual job especially with the issue with the key
This is has been going on since 1992
Killswitch, 2-way alarm system, and Carlock system
Any brands you recommend?
Chris Fix has a video about this I swear, put a hidden switch on the fuel pump, etc...
This report was unhelpful in everyway!!
Is always been like this. My boys in Jersey City will tell ya😂i was shocked when i was showed the allies full of Honda's 😮
I checked the carfax of my Honda s2000 and it was stolen in the past but found within a week so is still a clean title.
Should Acura owners be concerned?
Because Honda owns Acura
Also ABC new Philadelphia you are miss informing. Not all trims come with the Honda link tracking system only the fully equipped trim have it. Honda should reconsider and enable all trims to have Honda link tracking system.
Gotta buy some tire Locks like the city does when you don’t pay the fine Also catalytic covers
If they can steal it . Please make sure it’s gone gone so insurance can pay us out haha!
Sounds like the dealerships are selling their software in the secondary market.
Alertness is not enough. New security systems need to be promoted
& offered by Honda. .
You need to buy an OBD blocker.
Buy a club for starters. It wouldn’t stop them but it will slow them down. Next you can be proactive by removing your fuel pump relay or starter relay. If either one is not present the car will not start. Finally get a Honda with an old fashioned keyed ignition switch.
Put an after market alarm on your car that comes with a starter disable & gps tracker. CompuStar, Viper, Prestige, etc. makes them. Also put wheel locks on. These are just deterrents. End of the day if they want it more than you, they’ll get it. Sorry to say.
My new Honda CRV car got stolen today from Gulph mills apartment. Hope police rescue all the stolen cars soon 😢.
Is it Honda or Philadelphia? 😂
Definitely Philly because ford superduties and hyundais are right up there with the chargers and Hondas.
I have a Honda Accord but an older one. I feel safe with my wheel club and wheel locks.
Honda owners should spend $50.00 on a GPS magnetic device and stick it on the undercarriage frame.
Keyless entry is the problem.
Me watching this video in my Honda: uh oh
I grew up in a Puerto Rican hood. This was happening in 1995 lmao
Sounds like honda owners heed to get a s3cret on/off switch installed to keep their cars from being "hotwired".
At this point just take out the relay
Its at the point
Where owners gonna have to disconect the battery
Once a thief said DRIVE IT LIKE YOU OWN IT😂
Do they know the method that’s being used on the Hondas yet without saying to much????
