Don't get smug about hiding stuff in your trunk.  I had a collection of
irreplacable tapes (Billy Joel Live in L.I. Christmas 1978 taped off WNEW, 
etc.) stolen from my trunk in the Bronx.  Didn't even have a cassette player
in the car, so I can't imagine why they went into the trunk.  

Get a trunk lock protector from a locksmith and install it.  It is a metal 
plate that covers the trunk lock, and has a hole just big enough to stick the
key through.  It attaches with non-removable screws.  Otherwise, any asshole
with a screwdriver can take your CD deck in about 45 seconds.

Cheers,
