Exactly. My brother and I had the same Pioneer HU. I always take the face off, even if I'm just running to the store quick, but my brother left his on, mostly because he didn't want to carry it around. Both our cars were broken into. In my car, the thieves took my amp, crossover, sub, and the PATS key I had under the dash for the remote starter, but they never touched the faceless HU. In my brother's truck the only thing that was stolen was his HU with the face still on.

ESN is not a theft deterrent. All it does is eliminate the black market for Eclipse products, which really only serves Fujitsu Ten's bottom line. They either need to put detachable faces on all their products, or extend their theft warranty to be at least several years, if not the life of the product.
