Protecting Power Cord from Theft
The expensive power cord of our 2017 Jayco 5th wheel is detachable and we're concerned that it could be stolen. How should we secure it to protect it from theft?

I have no idea of the current rates for copper. However it is a well known and published fact that thieves steal the copper wiring out of homes and recently two A/C units were stolen from a church nearby!! With the drug culture and dependency that is so common today in our society there is no way you cannot count on thieves upending your life. I also just upgraded to a 5th wheel with 50 amp service and was shocked at the size and weight of this cord!! My first thought was why steal the copper from the walls of a vacant home when you could just unplug this big cord and carry it away.
We also have camped for more years than I care to admit and always bragged to non campers that we had never had anything stolen. However just last year while camping in Kentucky we had a Coleman stove taken while we were on the lake fishing. The people who run the state park we were at said there was a huge drug problem in the area and they believe this is fueling all the theft.
