neither would i. the car is not left unattended when opened, im within 10-50m of it all the time. the advantage is that not many realise the unit is a slideout. as a brief explanation i am one of the more solid members of the local honda club here in auckland, and we have the occasional member meet on the weekends which is more of a 'park up and come hang out' affair, and it seems to fall on me to provide the tunes, which i happily accept. its a balance of my own peace of mind for not leaving the keys in it, plus not worrying about the stereo clicking off without my control. thats all. just my own preference on how i like to use my empeg.
