People in Hayward will steal anything. They tried to steal my 88 CRXsi which is totally stock. The morons can openered it, I mean ripped the door handle off with a screw driver and broke the screw driver tip off in the ignition switch. Good for me or it would have been gone. I have also had my Chev S-10 (nothing great) stolen when it was about 3 yrs old. Both of these happened while parked at night where I live. Great place to live huh?

We just covered the subject. Search. The 350Z is NOT on the top 10 list.

the Z doesn't have really any parts that are interchangable with a lot of other cars, so it's of little value to chopshops...the most stolen cars are cheap cars that they can easily harvest generic parts from...i think vandalism is a bigger concern than theft with the Z
