Hands Free Bluetooth Car Kit - a target for thiefs?

| I quite fancy getting a bluetooth car kit, possibly this one....
http://www.expansys.com/zoompic.aspx?type=item&i=120562
....but I wondered how 'nickable' they are?
Would I be asking for trouble to mount it in the way shown in the
picture? ie clearly visible from outside? (I know if I left a GPS
cradle on display then the car would probably be broken into)
Is it possible to mount a unit like this tucked out of the way (eg
near ash tray) or would it mess up the sound quality?
Thanks

If I were you, I'd stretch to this one

A bloody-minded git could snip the wire and remove the dash unit,
however, all the gubbins are installed under the dash/behind the radio.

That's a contradiction ;-)

Depends on the model. Some, like the one Jono mentioned are two boxes.
But, if this is a single box and it's just got the three wires (2
power + radio mute) coming from it via standard cables you - could -
mount it with a switched connection block to allow it to be removed.
OTOH if you're that worried about someone stealing a wired unit, you
may be better off with a decent quality non-wired unit - either
cigarette lighter mounted or one of the visor mounted rechargeable
ones. This would also let you move them between vehicles.
