Default Securing aftermarket radio?

I bought myself an early christmas gift (clairiton CD player with USB/Ipod)
I took the stock radio out, and noticed there isnt ANYTHING to secure the back of the radio to... I know how easy our cars are to get into, and I don't feel like the plastic mounting bezel is enough to keep it in the car... How can I secure the radio?

Also, anybody know how much a stock radio is worth? JW, tks

should be a lug on the back the the Head unit (HU) you can use a metal strap and a self tapping screw to secure it.

That is a problem with aftermarket radios. Get creative with it.

Stock AM/FM radio is worth about $10-$20. Stock AM/FM CD radio can go from about $50 on up.

neons have a 1 1/2 din radio....not a 2 din

if its an am/fm cassette, your best bet is to just throw it away
if it has a cd and cassette, then you looking at about $100
ive been selling tons of stock cd players on ebay lately for all makes and models...prices range from $35-$150 average
