Though I have a different brand of generator, I lock mine in place when in use.

I'm using a Masterlock Python model. I drilled a hole through the frame plate since it was all too easy to remove on bolt to slip the lock off the handle.

I use 2 of these Masterlock Pythons, wrapping around the generator on both sides, and going through a hole drilled in the rack it sits on. I found that Home Depot has these in 8' for a couple bucks more than Amazons 6' length, which was not long enough to go around my generator and rack.

Yes, a determined thief can go through these, but there are 2, and will take some time. We did a 10 week trip to Alaska, and the gennie is still sitting on its rack.

Sounds like a plan. Based on 11 trips I've made to Alaska (9 full summers up there) that's about the last place I'd expect you to have that sort of a problem. Alaskans I've met (and there has been a bunch of them) would be more apt to go out of their way to help you than steal anything. The guy I knew who lost his generator was on the desert in -----------------wait for it---

Yep, California.
