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. -- == I was just exhausted from the act of being polite.
