A while ago I used to live in a high crime area so to
keep from
getting my CD-Tuner/radio stolen i used dremel tool
and scratched
up the face plate, then i put masking tape on the LCD
screen and LED lights
and painted the face plate bright orange spray paint,
then i wrote "Sparkomatic"
over the Pioneer logo. I could leave the face plate
attached all the time and nobody
messed with it even though it was a $350 Pioneer CD
Tuner which sounded great.
