generator security need?
Getting ready to purchase genny for our 5er. Have seen a lot of allusions to gennys being stolen, is this paronia or a real concern? If it's real, how do you secure yours?

Depends on where you are. If other things of comparable or even lesser value are regularly stolen, then yes, a portable generator is a good target.
I know places where folks leave their barns and storage sheds open for years and not lose anything, others where tires are removed from parked cars, A/C compressors carried away at night from occupied buildings. Nearest big city is having to replace all the wiring for the street lights in along one parkway because someone stripped out the copper.
There are campgrounds that are secure, some secure but not necessarily safe, and others open to the public around the clock. If non-campers are coming through checking out stuff, then anything of value should be locked up or tied down.
