i can't believe more people don't buy boots...to immobilize their own car. if i owned a honda and didn't have a garage...i'd boot the car and chain it to a tree or fence or something...to at least make it way harder to get the car rolling. i can break into a honda (and most cars for that matter) within 20 seconds...which is exactly what these guys did.
in any case...good luck finding the shell...although if these guys are good at what they're doing they'll cut it up and turn it into a recycling yard for cash.

or just search online...boots usually cost around 75.00. i would also consider chaining the car to a tree or a fence...which again just adds another level of security. i impound/repossess cars for a living...and can assure you this would make it much harder for a thief to steal a vehicle. if the car had a boot, they'd have to cut it off, remove the wheel or just drag it away...and each option would make a lot of noise and significantly reduce their chances of doing so without being noticed.

you have 10days from date of purshace to insure it.
If you had prior insurance with the same company they may cover it.
I know mine will when i buy a new car they give me 10days to get ahold of them and get it insured.
Good luck tho thats a nice car hope you get it back.

I'm an insurance broker and have been licensed in FL for 3 years and unfortunately I do see this from time to time. Younger clients who buy cars and don't have the proper cvg in place.

kj, there are different types of boots.
some allow access to the lug nuts...and if someone is motivated enough the lug nuts can be removed in most cases...but it requires a hammer, easy outs and a few other tools.
again, i just know what it takes to impound/repossess a vehicle and these methods make the process much more difficult. also, if you have two vehicles and enough space...i'd park one vehicle behind the other or block one vehicle in...plus i'd park the vehicle where it would be very difficult to roll...like making use of elevation changes...etc.
