Sure they can get into the trunk with a screwdriver or a crowbar.  But if
you park in an area with lots of other cars and in generally intelligent
places (at least as much as possible), the car stereo thief will probably
go for the car next to yours if he can't seen anything in your car.  He
could probably steal the whole car in about as much time as it takes him
to open the door and swipe the stereo or open the trunk, but if he's after
the stereo and not looking to attract too much attention, the hidden
stereo will work better than one out in the open.

   A quote usually goes here, but its currently being rennovated.
