Actually, I have heard from city folk that many people find it a better
investment to buy a pullout radio with a convertable and always leave the
doors unlocked. I guess after you get a few slashed ragtops you learn.
When I lived in a city for a bit I had my half working $40 stereo
borrowed. I wouldn't have minded so much but they took out a $200 window
in my honda to get to the radio.
