Reality check: ...there's always a risk of smash & grab or flatbed but come-on... really now. It's all about the amount of time a thief spends trying to steal it. IE more time=more risk. I'm much more worried about my MB SL500 getting...
I just had it done as a precursor to my Ravelco installation. A shop clipped some wires and out came the control box out. I do not know the specifics though.
If you have not seen the Ravelco anti-theft device check it: www.ravelco.com They guarantee your rig won't get stolen once it's installed.
