Jim:
Had the exact same thing happen 2 weeks ago with my 6 (triaxel
Kenwoods).
The difference (?) is my 6 was sitting in the garage and they got
in sometime between 1-5 AM. The lucky part was they didn't touch
the stereo or do anything to the car. I have always locked the
garage door but leave the side door open which is accessed through
our side yard which is fenced. Well, instead of an alarm, I bought
a dead bolt lock and installed the next day. I usually take the
speakers out and lock in trunk if I'm away from the 6 more than
10 minutes when out and about.
