The best way to deter stereo theft is to hide the stereo.
In my car, the ash tray and lighter have a cover plate over them.
I simply removed the ash tray, and installed the radio.  When I need
access to the radio, it involves flipping up a cover, which stays up
while driving, and I just close it when I park.  If someone can't see
a stereo, they will probably not feel like breaking in to find it,
even if they can see speakers.  Also, since my car is a '72, the dash
is mostly metal, and it was tough to get in, probably almost as hard
to rip out. (:-))
