Do you ever worry about theft of portable dish units?
I finally ordered a King Tailgater for my living quarters horse trailer. I was wondering what precautions I should take, or if there are any?

- My Winegard X2 has a nice attachment point for a chain or cable lock. So I bought about 35 ft of chain and two padlocks and use it every time. I fulltime and it has been in constant use for 3 years now. I just want to stop the thieves who drive by in a pickup looking for things they can easily grab.
- Yes. I engraved my Drivers License Number on the bottom.
Giving some thought to painting stripes or flowers on the dish to make it mine. Not sure how that would affect the reception... - hook it up to a fence charger for keeping the cows inside the fence. it will light up there eyes.
- My neighbor sets his on his roof.
- I put a motion lock on mine. If it's moved even slightly, it emits a 100dB siren.
- Bought one of these and after using i bought the second one. REESE 7032100 Retractable Cable Locking System

We have been using our Tailgater for several years now. I don't take any special precautions other than snugging the coax cable onto it with a pair of pliers, just tight enough that you could not loosen it with your bare hands. Have never had a problem, and we camp in a great variety and types of campgrounds.

I havent bought a chain or lock which I will do.
I thought about putting a Weber grill cover on it but people steal those too.
Another thought was to put some bells on it to discourage someone taking it.
