Default Stereo Protection with doors off

Hey guys I live in SoCal and am worried someone is going to rip off my touchscreen nav and stereo (stock) while parked somewhere with doors off. Is there any product that will help protect it from theft? I'm not sure if tuffy makes one for a 2012 interior. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

The Tuffy one is only for 2007-2010 models. The pay do not make one for the new style (2011+) dash yet. I got one for my 08, fiddled with it a couple days, never fit right, so I punted and returned it.

Years ago I bought a peice of plastic and just an old cassette deck faceplate only off eBay for $5. I siliconed the faceplate onto the plastic and put Velcro on the rim of the backside of the plastic with faceplate and Velcro around the Trim of my double din deck and put it over the double din so it looked like a crappy deck no one would want to steal. I don't have pics but it looked like this. Chive on!

That's a great idea..... But I was wondering what everyone does to protect their radio when out wheeling with the doors off? I really wanna go splashing thru puddles and mud holes with the doors and top off but I don't wanna ruin my stereo......
