Do you put as much effort into your Car Audio?

The first one was stolen a month after I put it in. The person broke the window and got his blood all over my seats. They also smashed the in dash unit and damaged the dash itself so bad it had to be replaced. Then they left several of the indash unit's buttons on the floor. Best I can guess it was some out of his mind heroin addict.
Insurance paid for it all. but insane. that was back in 1986.
Next one i installed an amp in the trunk, did the wires, speakers etc. then never used it much. removeable faceplate.
Had that one in that car 13 years.
Now new car..
Never again. Not worth the bother.

Same here (living in the city). BTW, it was probably a crack addict. 10 speed bike sells for $20, car stereo who knows?

Lived in descent part of Brooklyn Bay Ridge and had my windows broke once in a while few times per year.
Wanted to stuff car with x-plosives in anger to stop it, but moved to NC where no problem for past several years with automobiles.
Had once car stereo removed from old Nissan Maxima, but figured I had to ring near-by car services to see if anyone brought any stereo for sale, found the right dood(poor one needed to get dose in sweat and shivering), called 911 and pressed charges. I guess I helped him to get out of needle by placing him to county jail for month or few.

Geez, Czarivey! That's a great story. You actually caught the guy.

I actually had an OEM radio stolen out of a BMW in Greenwich Village before they started employing scramble codes.

Glad to hear no one has reported an accident-related loss so far.

I had a Nissan Maxima with a Factory Bose System with what looked like 901 drivers, sounded damn good.
