Hardwiring a portable surge protector

Has anyone ever converted a portable surge protector into a hardwire one? Meaning, cut the plug ends off and connected it directly into the incoming lines inside (so this can not be stolen).

I did, but I sure didn't cut the ends off the surge protector. Instead, I wired in a matching set of 30 amp connectors which the surge protector itself would plug into ... that way if I want to later remove the SP I can simply unplug it, plug the two ends together, and the trailer will receive power as it normally would.
