My ex had two flip front Kenwood stereos stolen in a row, along with autochangers full of CD's. They used a crowbar to get them out of the dash, as the stereo inserts security bolts into the side of the cage when in "secure" mode. The equipment the thieves got away with was useless, but they didn't seem to care, assuming it was the same ones that came back for the second one.

I've known other friends to get their stereo stolen whilst the face was removed, thieves will hope the face is in the glove box, but if it's not they'll take the stereo anyway incase they get a face another time.

The only security that really works is to remove the player. At least empeg make it easy to do this (carry cases coming soon!)
