No as there's generally not anything in there worth stealing, it's the HU that's worth the money, not some non-original CD's.

I think the point he is trying to make is that they wouldn't bother breaking into the car in the first place if they had learned through experience that the stereo front is never left in the car.

well i might get a locking glovebox, mount my headunit in there, then make a blanking plate for where it went.

that'd be quite cool. but impractical

Mine is completely black and wont come off without setting the alarm off, thats if they get in without the alarm going off and then work out how the hell you get the HU off without starting the engine

But what about when...They get in through the passenger door, and then pull up the driver door pin...

What could be cool is one of those remote kits from halfords so on a popper

Get in
Press Remote
Glovebox opens

yes, if u dont want to make a mess of the dash, though ive seen dashboards completely ripped apart when the hu would just slid out.
best is to take fascia off and leave glove box empty and open
