honestly, its probably someone you knew and.or someone you lives close to you. If you only had it for a short while, then it was probably someone that knew you had it, and/ior heard you thumpin. I feel your pain:

I had my brand new polk subs (3days old) in a hatch box, optimus amp, and all cds stolen out of my car because I was stupid and thumped the system in my neighborhood. no alarm.

I hadnt had my head unit taken that time, but months later when I got an alarm I put it back in and played loud music through my hood again (STUPID, STUPID) and they yanked the head unit. the alarm didn't matter to him, he took it anyway. I had the faceplate in the glovebox (wow, real secure) and obviously found it. I dont think he was expecting the alarm because it was a sloppy pull of the HU. He was gone in less than 20secs.

So now, I'm my 2nd generation sound system, that I rigged myself to be very difficult to remove (dont have the subs and amp in yet, still constructing and securing the enclosures) and before those go in im getting a little LED to say "alarm, beotch!".

coming into my neighborhood the stereo goes off (especially when going past the house of the guy that I know was involved). The faceplate and cds come inside with me, and I check my car anytime I hear a strange noise.

So I guess this goes to show what happens when you are forced to park your car on the street. My advice: don't thump your system anywhere near where you are going to be for any amount of time, and keep as few people aware of your system as possible.

(and by the way, those little flip around faceplates just make it convenient to steal all at once instead of having to check under the seat and in the glovebox.)
