If it's protected by Smith & Wesson nobody will mess with it.
Anyway, it's difficult to stop somebody from taking off with
your car stereo. I have a Sony that I can take the front
panel with me and I have an electronic immobilizer to stop
anyone to drive off with my car(s). I have 3 different lock
bolts on every wheel. I'm already paying too much for insurance.
