Honda 2200 Generator Locking Suggestions
Good morning all.... Any good ideas / suggestions for a way to lock a Honda to a tree or your truck? TIA

You could encase the thing in concrete, but all a thief would have to do is bring a jackhammer and an engine driven air compressor... Can you see how quickly this gets riduculous?
Look, anyone who thinks for a second that whatever they do to "secure" their generator can't be easily defeated, is delusional. The thief just has to bring enough equipment and have enough time to execute the theft.
The sole purpose of "securing" your generator is to divert the attention of the would-be thief to softer targets. Most thieves are snatch-and-grab types, and their targets are the easy pickin's that they can snag as they casually walk by, so as to not attract attention.
A hardened chain through the handle is going to deter 99%+ of would be thieves, because they don't want to take the time or chance making the NOISE required to grind through that chain. One of the primary requirements of successful thievery is not getting caught, and they WILL go for the chain because the generator is worthless with a cut handle.
