I feel for you, dude, but really, the solution to your problem is VERY simple. Buy an Eclipse head unit. No one will *ever* jack your stereo. Usually stereo theives know more about your head unit than you do... and none will bother with an Ecplise. The stereos are top of the line. The first time you turn it on, you just stick in a junk CD. The junk CD now becomes your "passport". If the power is ever disconnected, the HU will *never* work until that CD is inserted.
