    conceal, conceal, conceal, if you got nothing to steal, they shouldn't break in. Make a cover for the screen, make it retractable, or make it detachable. Get an alarm. Keep them out and they'll never mess with your gear.

    Well if you keep the pc apart from the screen, once they pry it out of the dash they'll be like "wtf" (but in Danish ) and ususally leave it.

    Most of the security features would be for people that steal your entire car because they can lock out if a password isn't entered or something. Or the features would be useless with the PC off, so they will steal your PC and then once they turn it on, useless (until a reformat).

    Active defense is harder to do, because power is limited. Might be able to have a motion sensor when tripped boot up the PC and snap a series of photos and send them to your email or something. That way you will at least have a way of getting your stuff back.

    Much like your mastery of the english language, you can only go so far with dash security.

    The easiest way is to coneal your install. A theif can always cut a lock or pry a device off your chasis.

    Strategic placement of your devices is key.

    Your best bet is hiding it. You can make it hard to rip out, but a good chance they'll just cause more damage.

    I made a fake radio to cover it up while parked. Eventually I'm going to make a nice one that is molded in as doors.

    I drive around a lot near my house and it's a small neighborhood so hiding it while just cruising is important. I got some 3M Flexible privacy screen that helps.
