Finding a way to haul them outside is best. A front receiver is great. I sometimes haul mine inside, then put on outside bike rack while I am there, Inside is more secure if you leave it unattended and inside is dry.
Do not DO NOT use the braided cables to lock them. These can be cut with scissors and every homeboy carries tools to cut these cables. Get the biggest, baddest chain or locking device you can.
