There was a thread here about wheter detachable faceplates deter theft, I
wondered after reading it, do those shadow faceplates deter theft at all,
the ones that go completely dark and the face and or buttons spin around so
it looks like no radio is installed.

I would think that they would, indeed, deter theft. Though I have never
owned one, I have known a few thieves in my day (don't ask). They tell me
that they will only break into a car when there is something obviously in
view worth stealing. Though one of those "dark" faceplates might appear
strange to a thief on first glance, they are most likely not going to break
in just to satisify their curiosity. They will move on to the next car and
look for the sure thing.

But, having said that, I would not own one (unless the face was removable as
well). If a thief KNOWS what you have, obviously they will not be fooled.
This is why removable face plates are best.

I go to a local police auction ALL the time; from first hand knowledge (I
guess maybe second hand or third cuz I purchase it after it is stolen) of
what is stolen; a thief does not care what so ever what he/she grabs. They
seemingly do it for the challenge, thrill, what ever... cuz I see some
pretty weird things that make ya wonder: WHY?? that. As for car stereos
being I use to purchase them on a regular basis there; they do not care
there either. Stock, major manufacturer, low end, high end, removable face
with and without face, pull-outs, hidden faces, knob style, with the dash,
without the dash, yada yada yada. If they want it they are going to get it.

The thief surely is not going to steal the unit without a faceplate.
What would he going to do with no faceplate CD player unless he
stole a hundred of unit..

But the faceplate is still there it just appears hidden. I have had radios
w/o faceplates stolen before so you must be wrong about no theif not
stealing units w/o faceplates. Also not sure what stealing a hundredth of a
unit or a hundred units would have to do with anything.

Sean,

Just a helpful sugestion...

Maybe you should take a look at some of mmdir2002's other posts before you
spend (waste) your time trying to politely clarify and question the things
he says.

Anything for crack. They aren't high end dealers. Nak, Pioneer, it all gets
the same price on the street.

Dumb ****.. I see it all the time; stereos stolen without faces at the

right.
