I've heard this philosophy before (don't anger the criminals). I understand why someone would suggest this as yes there is a chance that someone *could* do something out of anger if you've protected your property. I 100% understand that logic.
But then I consider the flip side of that argument....Should I remove the catalytic converter ahead of time for the criminal and just leave it on the ground with a thank you note?

Reducto ad absurdum....look it up if you aren't familiar.
I'd pick option a) and carry insurance.
Yes, my example is intentionally a bit ridiculous to make a point. Agreed.
So the choices come down to "a" and "c".
a) Do nothing except what normal people do (lock their doors, windows, and then just "hope" the odds game runs in your favor forever...)
c) Take some simple, inexpensive, hopefully effective steps to try to tilt the odds in your favor that you will not become a victim of theft by making it harder on criminals to steal from you so they will likely just move on to another target
Consider this....In either event there is damage from a theft AND insurance covers it. So I would rather choose "C" and improve my odds of preventing a theft in the first place.
What it really comes down to is this: For $100 it gives me piece of mind. It also reduces the chances that a thief is going to inconvenience me for 1-6 weeks at a time when I need this RV for personal travel or one of my renters. Either of those could be hugely painful and/or expensive.
To each their own!
Safe travels!
