Well, probably. However, to be honest, the empeg MkII (and the MkI as well, if not much more) does look cheap. At least if you can´t figure out what the connectors at the back are for, or what might be inside (I mean, how many radios are available today that don´t have any tape, minidisc or CD playing capability?). One way or the other, that thief was plain stupid, lost his driver license only 1 meter away from my car, and had the VW radio that he got out of my car plainly visible on his passenger seat, when he arrived at home (where the police was already waiting).

There is a phrase in german, that really matches this thief: "Dümmer als die Polizei erlaubt" ("More dumb than the police allows." or something similar)
