>> Some theives, seeing a hole for a pullout stereo, will break into the car anyway, assuming you left the stereo in the trunk or the glove box (since a lot of people don't like hauling pull-outs around).

I guess I may be nieve when it comes to thievery. I never really thought about that aspect. I hope that the thieving types in my neighborhood have not either. Most of them are homeless and if the stereotype is accurate, not the brightest bulb on the tree.

It would be a big sucks for my car to be broken in to, even though the empeg is with me. Its still a hastle to have a broken window replaced.

My best deterant is where I park. I work in a bank building with a few drive thru teller lanes. When a customer drives up to the teller window to conduct business, their car points directly at mine. My car is pretty visable by -someone- most all day long. I realize that this may not be possible for the rest of you but I am doing all that I can to keep my system intact, and so far so good.
