That was actually the first thought on my mind as i had my system up pretty loud. even if i went home the joke would be on them though as my car is kept in a garage, and the house has an alarm. lol

That actually happened to my dad. He had a '74 VW Bug (later became my first car) that he had a decent radio and speakers in. He was driving home with Jimi Hendrix blastin' out the speakers...came out the next day and the radio was gone. The speakers were there (in fact, I think he still has them), but the thiefs used the flashlight I had given him for Christmas the last year to take the radio. The flashlight was gone too.

I heard of a guy who came up with an innovative way to keep people from stealing his radio. He took the metal case off and put sharp fish hooks in so the sides, top, and bottom of the radio was covered in 'em. One day he had to remove the radio and found some small chunks of human flesh in a couple hooks...fortunately, this was before the days of burglars suing legitimate owners 'cause it was harder to steal something *lol*
