Is my 2000 CRV going to be safe?!? Bah, 2012-Current. *Misleading headline.

Older Hondas are notorious for being able to be stolen by putting a screwdriver in the key cylinder and giving it a swift whack with a hammer. They don't assign those CVEs though.
Can confirm.

Source: Aforementioned 2000 CRV stolen once (Chicago =D) AND RECOVERED. Totally still working just dinged up a bit. They left it parked in front of a hydrant with the doors and windows open! Insurance totaled it, but said I could keep it.

That's the story of why I still have and drive a 22 year old, 5-speed, 2000 CRV. Hard to sell with the 'rebuilt' title, still runs great though. Dented up like a truck, but only has 135k miles. It's a keeper. My 'city' car.
