A lot of grimy ass people will come by and just jack the faceplate to a
popular h/u and then steal the actual unit when they have more time. It is
useful to own a h/u w/ a removable faceplate if you take the faceplate out
whenever you get out of your car. From the window it is obvious you have a
stereo but what kind it is is hard to identify. I always take my faceplate
with me whenever I leave my car and I have never had my car broken into. And
I live in north central LA. No alarm. I leave the keys in the car and the
doors unlocked.......maybe if people are scared of your ass then they wont
**** with your ride.

I was just curious if the thieves just steal the head unit anyway and buy
a
faceplate at "Thieves R' Us" later on to make a complete unit.


IOW is it a deterrent or just a gimmick?
