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!). A.
