Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Pics and Videos Didn't want those stereos anyway

this is what I took care of every day at my last job....Investigating and replacing stolen stereo equipment. Hope you had a low deductable. And yes you are lucky that the dash damage is minimal and that they simply unplugged the harnesses and antenna, or cut the adapter harness.
Out of the thousands of claims I handled I only remember 1 where a head unit was stolen while the face plate was removed.. As a rule of thumb if you lock your doors take your faceplate. Its removeable for a reason.
Oh and if you have a Kenwood with 3D mask.. your screwed because that is a prime target for theft. They see the blacked out plastic pannel and they immediately know that you have one of the top 3 kenwood models with the face attached. Thats why Kenwood dropped the feature this year.
