I was always told a lock is to keep an honest man out. With the ways the castle laws are changing, I think there will be less thefts anyways. A lock now may just be enough time to get 1 in the chamber. I do keep mine locked. I use a basic lock hopefully this will be all I need. There have been alot of recent thefts at Drag Strips as well. 1 guy lost his trailer and his car at a Good Guys function in Tenn. I personnaly look out for my neighbors as I am sure we all do.

Like someone else said, one size fits all. I have mine installed backwards, fits better that way. I bought mine at Home Depot.

We used this boot type lock when parked in a storage yard in L.A.

PitBull TireLock - Wheel Locks for your most demanding Parking Enforcement and Anti-Theft needs!

I don't know much about this new one, but could be easier to use than a boot type device.

Locks i dont need no stinking locks

I use GOOD insurance as my first line of defense so if it get stolen I get another.
Also some locks to make the insuance comp.happy.
One in the chamber in case I see them doing the dirty deed.
Thats the cowboy way.

You could always just let the air out of your tires if your gonna be gone.. them put air in when you get back.... (this is a joke, I know it would bugger the tires.) But it is still an option..... Who wants to steal an airstream with 2-4 flat tires...
