I have not personally. But I have seen it happen to a friend and another time my dad. In really unsuspecting places, where you would never guess it would happen.
Lot of 'pros' out there that do this for a living.
Worst that happened to my car is the apartment matience guy backed up into it with his bobcat while plowing snow late at night and caused a good $1500 damage on the passenger side.

A nice car stereo, it's almost not even worth it unless you got nice security or a lot of disposable cash in case something happens.
Come to think of it, I did get took good once. I had a system with ADS amps and Boston accoustics speakers. I treated myself to a nice system. Got in a bad accident, everything mysteriously gone when I went to check in on my Eclipse. Guy at the shop just shrugs his shoulders. 1500$ worth of car stereo, c ya latta.

when i was 18 someone broke into my car and tried to steal my stereo the 2nd day i had it installed. the next day i played my music loud all around the neighborhood hoping they would come back. i was planning on waiting for them and me and my friends were going to jump them, tried to set a trap but they never came back.
hno:
Only time I can recall someone stealing anything from my vehicle was about two years ago from my 1992 Chevy S10, parked in my driveway - which is a carport less than ten feet from my front door.
Being as it's a work truck and I carry little of significant value in the cab, I routinely leave it unlocked.
Well, seems some young teens (as we found out later from cops) rolled through our townhome cul-de-sacs one evening a little after dark.
And they opened the ice chest in bed of my truck, which I figured out because there was a half-full bottle of powerade sitting at the end of my driveway when I discovered that they had also poked into my cab and into the console where I have a bank bag which I use simply to store work related receipts.
The bank bag was later found by my next door neighbor in her bushes, with all the receipts intact.
But here's the SAD PART....
Before coming home that evening, I had just stopped by my friendly CCS (Community Cannabis Supplier) and bought a nice fat $100 1/2oz
Which during the short drive home, I tuck away into the ol' bank bag, zip it up and conceal it in my console.
When I got home, I was whipped and went inside for a shower and something to eat and it wasn't but an hour later I went out to get my stash.
OH NO
Once I realized what had happened, I began to look for the bank bag....and across the street saw a sheriff's officer talking to one of my neighbors.
Their car had also been opened and bunch of CDs ripped off.
Your humble Rx Late Night Mod unfortunately could not report the precise details of his own losses.
But other than that, we all lived happily ever after
And Yes, I now ALWAYS bring the ol' CCS purchase indoors Immediately upon arriving home.
