I have a number of cargo boxes and some chairs I store on our roof rack and was wondering how people make them secure from theft. We have never had gear stolen in years of travel but have heard of some horror stories especially in caravan parks. Does anyone use locks or have other ideas? Thanks johno

I have a "Lock Alarm" cost $48.30 from [I cannot remember].
Look up www.lockalarm.com it is a 15' [4.6m] ultra hard steel cable [plastic coated] you wind it around and through whatever and key locks on, 9v battery required.
If tampered with or tried to be cut it screams [120 decibel siren] that can be heard from a long distance away.

Peter, an extra strategy might be that when you go to a place you "accidentally" set off the alarm, thus giving the message to all those nearby that they shouldn't try any tampering.
