I have a box called an Audio-Safe ($39.95 @ local car stereo shop) which
has prevented one theft, we think, already.  The Audio-Safe is a thick
steel plate which goes behind the dash and a thick steel cover which
locks onto it from the outside.  The theory is that a whole lot of
damage must be done to get it out (and damage takes time) and when it is
out it is hard to open.

I had looked into a bensi box but decided against it.  It is great when
I am at work (my wife actually, I don't have a car (sniff sniff)), but
what do we do with the stereo when we go someplace else (shopping,
dinner, movie...)?  It seems awfully inconvenient to lug it around.

there are some points against it.  I worry a bit about the quality of
the lock, it looks sort of cheap to me.  But I guess the pro will get it
no matter how you protect it.  Also, the steel cover is always banging
around on the floor and being a pest.
