Remove the face?

Lock the doors?

Keep a crappy deck in there that nobody would want to steal?

Wow!

You must live in a bad neighbourhood! :shock:

Maybe you could rig it so there's enough cord that you can pull the deck out and unplug it. Then again, you would lose your presets but it's still better than losing your deck.

You could try bolting it in there with security screws - they have an irregular head and take a special bit to remove.

Wow! 3 radios stolen from you!

Try the camera thing. That way you can see what the crooks look like and bust their asses.

What is it about a Festy and it's stereo ,I know 3 people here that have had the rear window knocked out and the stereo stolen , ,
Just leave the hole or put something else there and mount your stereo in your glove box,w/ remote.

3 times!?!? Put a stock cassette deck in there.. hide amps or anything else that will make it sound better.

Get a cassette input adapter (cassette with a male stereo jack) and get a portable player that will play what you want and plug into the lighter.
Then take in in everyday.

Kind of a pita, but noone wants a stock Festiva cassette deck.
