I think you have two things to worry about...
1: your car standing out
2: your car blending in.
If you car stands out too much, people will brake a window and steal your aftermarket electronics. If your car blends in too well, your car gets stolen to be a mobile meth lab.
deviate too much in either direction and I think you set yourself up. The yaris isn't that common of a vehicle... not like a camry or civic... so I think its relative safe from being stolen. Blast your music all around town though... and you will probably get a broken window.
I've had 3 windows broken out of my cars.... 2 out of the three times they broke in to steal a bag, thinking it was a laptop... or tons of camping gear... both times they would've been relatively upset cause nobody buys high school text books or used rock climbing equipment used. Sucked to be me tho. The third time they stole a tape deck worth about $5 from me... I was actually happy they did... I got a better radio for free, and it happened right before I sold the car.
Always park near a street/parking lot light if you can. Don't park in the same place all the time... change it up. Keep change, bags, clothes, or anything with a value of more than $.25 out of sight.
