I think a geo metro is at the bottom of the list of vehicles to steel, their value as a stolen car is as scrap ($200) so it would be less risk to steel copper wire, aluminum cans, pretty much anything, if someone is going to steel your geo, they are also going to steel the parking meter that it is parked next to.
People steel cars that have a high demand for parts, after market parts are worth more then stock, people often ask if my civic has an engine swap or any performance parts on it and I often get the feeling that they are wondering if they need to tell their friends to try to steel it if they get the chance, no one races metros, no one swaps engines on them, the people who want them are cheap and have real jobs.
