Lots of paranoia over a rare event. How many people actually know someone who's lost an inverter gen? Not Internet stories, not a guy your BIL heard about. An actual, verifiable case. I've painted our EU2000 flat black, using Fusion plastic paint. I've never gone out of my way to secure it, other than the paint, and putting is away whaen not running. I don't worry about it being in view, or people listening for it. I let my insurance agent worry about loosing sleep.

For me, though, it would depend on the tailgate location. Do you tailgate on campus, next to the stadium? Maybe in a parking lot that has an attendant? Or are you over near student apartments or some other sketchy place? Also depends on the team you're playing...some SEC teams like GA or LSU come with a contingent of pure idiots. They'll steal your generator while they're in a drunken stuper then realize they don't have anywhere to put it, so they'll just throw it in the bushes. WHOOOAAA...back on topic. Since they're so small and light-weight, why not just put them on the ground beneath your camper and lean a board or tarp next to it? Still keep them cable locked. Of all my years tailgating, I've never seen anyone walking around with a saw or bolt cutters.
