"Last night the wife’s car got broke into no damage at all anywhere on the door but being a women had ago at me for asking if she left the door open. The radio has gone and the only other thing that has gone missing is the pedal covers why?

But looked on ebay and funnily enough a radio exactly the same went on this morning and is about 1mile. The wife said she know it was a certain cd in there so if that comes out i will kick the living daylights out of the bloke".
Well this is only a thought:
Why don't you contact the police, and explain the situation. Then ask if an Officer could go with you to have a look at the radio (either before you buy or after), on the pretence that you're not too good with electrics, so you've brought you mate around who knows more

.
Before you go, both have a story, and explain to the officer what disc is in the unit, what channels you've got programmed in, etc. But get the Officer to handle the unit, not you.
Then if you think it is yours, get the Officer to arrest them there and then on suspicion of theft.
As I believe if they have reason to suspect, they can do a search of the premises, and if they come up trumps with your pedal covers also, even better

.
Down side is you may not get your unit back for a while if they need it for evidence ??.
Like I say, just a thought ?

.
Hope you get it back
