Do you ever worry about theft of portable dish units?

I finally ordered a King Tailgater for my living quarters horse trailer. I was wondering what precautions I should take, or if there are any?

I put a motion lock on mine. If it's moved even slightly, it emits a 100dB siren.

Bought one of these and after using i bought the second one. REESE 7032100 Retractable Cable Locking System

We have been using our Tailgater for several years now. I don't take any special precautions other than snugging the coax cable onto it with a pair of pliers, just tight enough that you could not loosen it with your bare hands. Have never had a problem, and we camp in a great variety and types of campgrounds.

I worry about it. I put it in the car sometimes depending where we are staying.

I havent bought a chain or lock which I will do.

I thought about putting a Weber grill cover on it but people steal those too.

Another thought was to put some bells on it to discourage someone taking it.

Most homeowners policies have a deductible that is greater than the cost of the Tailgater.

I don't worry in controlled parks. But I cable it up in places that are free range to the general public.

Mine is covered as Personal Property on my Homeowners (brick and mortar) Policy. Should it be stolen, I get a new one. I worry more about ants invading the electronics inside the shell. That happened last year in Florida but I caught it when I went to break down camp and move. Carefully removed the cover and used a compressor to blow out the nasty little critters. Now I spray a circle of pest control after setup. Seems to be working, no more ants.

I generally do not worry much about it. I bought a plastic coated steel dog tie out cable from Home Depot and use it to lock my Tailgater to a tree, post, strut, etc. But I don't always use it. Depends a lot on where we are staying.

I have an 8' length of cable and padlock that i bought when I first purchased tailgater but rarely use it. Not had any problems.
