no doubt in my mind an alarm would help, but jus cause u have an alarm doesnt mean a skilled thief cant take it out, taking out an indash does not require too much time

It does if you properly bolt it to the chassis of the car or frame of the dash. That requires them to take apart a lot of the dash before being able to remove it. If you have an alarm, they wouldn't be able to take it out before getting caught.

Most people trying to steal a stereo will leave if they can't just pull it out with the regular din tools. It's not worth the very increased risk of getting caught when they could just go on to another car.
