[QUOTE="jasonbillnelson, post: 8103561, member: 645368"] Pictures, serial numbers, lists of what you have installed, and a good insurance company first off. As far as stealthy do what you can to mount it into the car. In my dodge nitro you have to move the subwoofer and then open the load and go to find my stuff. Second battery is under the Driver Seat. My head unit is the Clarion NX501 and that doesn't detach but would take some time for the thief to get with how I have it mounted. Tinted windows does help but thieves look for what they can grab and conceal quickly. My old ride, 2004 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, I had a single din cd player, old school Rockford amp and capacitor and a shallow 10' sub under the back seat. My Driver window was broken and the thief pulled the cd player, found the rca cables, and found my amp and cap under the back seat. Stole that and then pulled the sub box out and chose to leave it. This was between 8-9am on a Saturday morning in Albuquerque NM, 1 block from a main road in a gravel public parking lot. My wife was using the truck for school and found the car around 9:10am. If you have the money for a car alarm, then absolutely, put one in. I don't have one but I'm very cautious of where I park my car. I ensure it's in a very public place, no alleyways or back roads. I'll walk an extra block if it means keeping my car in a safer place. And I live in Maryland and go to DC pretty often. [/QUOTE]
