I don't know about anyone else, but I have recently bought some gear for camping, Waeco 40l, a deep cycle battery and 120w solar panel. I was worried about it being left unattended while we went off exploring.
I have made a metal bracket that fits around the battery box and allows for a padlock, I have drilled a hole in the frame of the panel, big enough to take a padlock and if the fridge needs to be left out, it too has a metal strap around it and a padlock. The idea of the padlocks is so I can interlock them together using the padlock from each, I then run a steel cable around a sturdy tree and lock them altogether.
If they cut the cable, they still have to separate each unit from the padlocks, or carry the lot.
At the end of the day, if anyone really wants it, they will take it, but they have to work for it first.
