Another suggestion I have: If you have a pickup truck, buy a tailgate lock.
The Master lock is the beefiest, followed by the Bully (although the Bully one is very difficult to install), followed by the McGard (which is very easy to get installed, but it is the weakest.) Even a hose clamp with a spot weld on the screw is a deterrent.
I am surprised at how often I find my tailgate lid down, but thankfully still there thanks to the lock on the hinge. I don't lock the handle because it is stupidly easy for someone to break that off and move the locking rod.

Where the heck do you all live that property protection is such a major portion of your lives?
I couldn't lay my hands on the keys to my house without a days notice. Right know here are 3 tractors 3 vehicle and a motorcycle on my property with the keys in them. I go to town, chainsaw shovels,picks generator trash pump or whatever remain in the back of the truck, never have had anything bothered and have been living like this for better than 50 years.

man you guys spend more on locks the than cost of a tank of gas… in my entire driving life never had a lock on the gas cap and never had any stolen… I don’t lock my tool compartments and seldom loch the entry door…
I guess we travel in different circles sometimes…
that’s not to say I couldn’t happen sometime but I’m not going to expend much effort worrying about it…

It was not exactly rationed, but due to the long lines, at least in our area, odd number plates filled up on odd number days and even number on even.

"Rationed"????
Unless I'm mistaken, gas hasn't been rationed in this Country since WWII!
I do remember sitting in line for gas in the '70's- but never had to pass over a coupon or anything...
