I just love the pro-thief advantages built in to the legal system here in
the USA.  Won't be too long now until we'll see a thief win a court case
against a victim in which the car stereo stolen didn't work properly.
Even today, I think it would be wise to make sure your car stereo works
well.  You wouldn't want the thief to get pissed off when he/she got his/her
new toy home and it didn't work!  He'd probably hunt you down and kill off
your whole family (including your dog)!  Personally, I always leave my
windows down and the car unlocked and the stereo laying on the front
seat just to avoid aggravating a thief.  I'm still worried, however, so
I'm thinking of getting a gift certificate good for about what my car
stereo cost and leaving it tucked under my windshield wiper.
That way the thief can get the model he/she really wants.
