Was it the harness attached to the car they cut, or did you have an aftermarket radio, and they took that harness?

Either way, you can get wire harnesses at any Best Buy or Circuit City road shop. If they cut the car's harness, you'll need a reverse harness to put the factory plug back on as well as a normal harness to solder to your new radio's harness. If they just took the plug for an aftermarket radio, you'll just need a regular harness adapter.

i had an aftermarket cd player, but they cut the original harness and took the new one with them. So there are just those 10 or 11 wires from the harness attached to the car. I need to buy a reverse harness? how do i hook that up?

If I'm right, the reverse harness colors should match the colors of the wires that arre part of the car, and the regular harness colors shold be the same colors as the harness on your radio.

You'll need both these pieces:
