I store my TT well away from Austin for this exact reason. The city is growing, and crime has gone up 20% in a year in some parts. If I had a RV storage place that was so bad that I had to bother with some type of lock for power cords, I'd move it further out, as life is too short for worrying about that.
I do also. I store my trailer at a gated facility in Round Rock that has cameras and security. I still have my battery box and propane tanks secured in place with chains and padlocks. I had an attempted battery theft one night while overnighting in a truck stop. Also, when I'm in storage, I store the 30A cord and use an adapter and a Home Depot extension cord, since all I really use is the converter to keep the battery charged and I could really even do without that. I live in Austin and have had several vehicle break-ins in my Condo complex, the latest being the theft of a tailgate off my 2013 Super Duty, so you can tell my sense of humor about this is growing a little thin. If I ever catch anyone stealing from me, it's going to get very noisy, and hopefully I'll be able to see my phone to dial 911 after the smoke clears.
