Unfortunately I know that for a fact first hand! Two months ago my 9 yo S2K was stolen :-(
Eh I don't think this will cause any boost above normal to NSX and S2000 prices. I think prices for certain NSX's will start to edge up naturally over time (like the Zanardi Edition or 3.2L hard tops) but I don't think there'll be a spike right now. As for the S2000, I think prices won't go up for awhile simply because a relatively large number was produced. The Integra Type-R on the other hand will continue to command strong prices from here on out.

IMHO YMMV
I think that's pretty much right on. The NSX will appreciate in value no matter what. It was bound to happen anyway.
As for the S2K, it's harder to pin down. I belong to one of the largest regional S2000 clubs in the country and I am one of few, if not the only one, who has kept theirs completely stock. A lot of others have gone FI, made chassis mods, and/or installed body kits. While those things have their place, they do nothing but hurt the value of the car. It is getting harder than one might think to find a pristine example of an S2000 as it came from the factory because as they have been depreciating, a younger, ricier crowd has been buying them and in some cases, defiling them. So as a whole I think they will continue to depreciate for a little while and perhaps the untainted examples will begin to appreciate in the not too distant future.
(nothing against TASTEFUL mods, I like them on other people's cars, they're just not my thing)

To a certain extent, the young ricers now defiling them reduce the numbers and force up the prices of the remainder.
I am planning to hang onto mine (and the 'Lude and the Civic) for the forseeable.

NSX values have always been strong and today they still hold very very well.
While many more S2000s were released, pristine and low mileage ones should rise in value. Think Supra here. I think the CR will be even more sought after.
