Why people steal HU when code is set?

Why do people steal them? I mean if they remove an aftermarket Head unit dont they need the code to operate it? How do they know the code?

i've heard some faceplates are interchangeable within the brand (kenwood is what i've heard). also, you can buy them from the manufacturer (my friend washed his, and alpine wants $125 for the faceplate).

not all HU's have codes. Only a certain few do. Like some of the Eclipse ones..
