    how are they getting in?
    is it the same as the mk4's with jamming a screwdriver into where the lock is and turning to disable the immobilizer?
    if so i'm doing the plug and delete.

      Thats most likely the way, the blockoff piece is like $35 from the dealer then it needs to be painted.

        Pretty sure the US spec B5 S4 doesn't have an immobilizer. Unless you were just referring to the VWs

          No immobilizers on your B5's and all it takes is a tiny hole below the door handel and they are in.

          But still how can B5 S4's be #7 on the list there aren't that many of them in Canada.

            Saw that too...add that to the F250 and Honda Civic we own and it's like there's a frikkin bullseye on the garage. Only the truck has been stolen from my driveway to date...thank you crackheads.

              that is kind of odd seeing how they arent super common. On a side note the title of this thread just makes me think of that damn bed intruder song haha.

                They have been on the top ten stolen vehicles list previosly as well.
                It is scary, considering, as others have mentioned, how un common they are. Civics and escalades are on the list too.. But you see tons of those around.

                    Re: hide your b5s

                    There are far more than a few hundred B5 S4's in Canada. There are probably 200 in Calgary alone. They are not freaking unicorns

                        No dispute, they aren't a dime a dozen. I'm just saying that there are more than a few hundred in Canada

                          I think he meant there are only a few hundred running at any one time
