dont bet on it. My roommate had her stereo ripped off once...
when she finally put another in, she had it done with the strap
method, in addition to having and alarm installed. Well, the 
activation button for the alarm broke, they didnt go through that 
part of the car anyway, and she *still* lost the radio.....
they just took bolt cutters (or something equally monstrous and 
destructive) and Cut The Strap. 

very discouraging.
