While I haven't tried this (never have had a car stereo anyone
would want to steal :-) ), I read about the following technique.

Mount a thick steel strap from the back of the stereo to a heavy
piece of metal under the dash at the back.  File the heads of the
nuts or bolts down, or fill the screw slot with solder, or 
otherwise make it very time consuming (for *anyone*) to get the
stereo out.  I was under the impression professional installers
will do this if requested (maybe extra charge).
Since you will rarely be removing your stereo for any reason
this is very cheap insurance.  (Do get one that doesn't immediately
break...)

This won't solve the dash damage if they get irritated
(or are just too dumb to notice it won't come out!).
