I ALWAYS take my face off and it saved my dash. Yes, they did look under
the seat, but the face was not there. So, the Dak was damaged by the forced
entry, but the dash was left alone. Had they found the face plate, the dash
would also have been trash (and the stereo missing). I would rather deal
with only door damage than door damage, dash damage, wiring damage and no
stereo. I hate not having tunes to listen to.
Besides, I usually carry a cell phone, so what's one more thing. Most face
plates in stores in this neck of the woods are non-removable. Why steal a
radio, then have to steal a face plate? Just move on to the next vehicle.
