Safeguard stereo


Don't blast your stereo system in residential neighborhoods, especially your owncar. This is just advertising to any thieves within earshot that you have a high-power, expensive stereo system that is worth stealing. Trust me, you don't know your neighbors as well as you think. And they're going to know what time you're at home and when you leave in your friend's car. Thieves will also follow you to wherever you are going and wait for you to leave the car unattended. Then they pull up and do a "smash and grab" on your system and are gone before you know what happened. You'll be left with a seat full of broken glass and no stereo.
DON'T, DON'T, DON'T put manufacturer's stickers on the outside of your vehicle. As cool as you may think this looks it's a huge lure for thieves. Not only do they know you have a system in your vehicle but they have an idea of what it's worth to them. Unless you are being sponsored and it is part of the sponsorship agreement you should not put these stickers on your vehicle. They're called "steal me" stickers for a reason.
