Radio theft protection

So I live in a bad part of Philly, and my radio has been stolen 3 times in the last month. So now I bought my new radio some Kenwood $200. How do I avoid getting it stolen? Move? Nope. So I have a question, I want to pull my radio out every time I park at my house. But when I do that all my memory will be wiped. Is there anyway to parallel off the 12v source when the car is off with a battery, small battery? And FYI they have even taken my radios without the faceplate?

why keep putting money into something that you have for what.. 2 weeks. every two weeks a new cd player costs you $200 or above. wow. seriously, either:

1) keep it stock until you can get in a better location
2) find a garage to park in
3) buy a damn alarm with lcd pager that lets you know when and where your car is being broken into at
4) have a baseball bat next to you so if u hear them breaking into your car again you can beat the crap outta them

use a diode and a 9v battery to the negative and constant wire, should keep the clock and memory powered.


Also, how did they steal the radio three times? Mine was stolen once, but I had to buy a new one, they never brought it back to steal it again. just a joke btw.

Why not remote mount it?


Edit: Like this: http://www.afrotechmods.com/Reallych...hettoradio.htm

That site is freaking funny. I know they are doing it really ghetto, but you get the general idea...
