Anti theft devices

Where all you folks camp is theft really that big a problem?  Out west in NV and CA, at least in the north end, it just doesn't seem to be that big a deal.  I use a padlock on the ball locking device, as much for safety as security, and wrapped a chain around the two battery boxes and the gas tank with a couple of locks, but it is more for appearance than actual security.  A bold cutter would go through the chain in a millisecond.  The padlock on the hitch ball lock might take a couple minutes to cut.  But, then most of our trips are to Sierra Nevada campgrounds where anyone can pretty much steal anything he or she wants just wandering through a camp ground.  

Thanks furpod.  I guess where we live, it's a little more like the days before crystal meth and oxycodone where you don't need to fasten everything down.  Most of our neighbors who have trailers store them in the driveways and, sometimes on the street, if they have space.  And the storage places around these parts are filled with RV's.  Maybe there are so many, that it's not worth the bother to steal stuff from them.

Can't disagree with see something, say something. Lot of police stuff has to do with jurisdiction. Where I live, the city police will not respond, the county sheriff will. I'm not worried about stealing the Pod, there are no chop shops for travel trailers, to my knowledge. They will steal grab and go items like your BBQ grill or fishing poles or a portable generator, because it is easy to pawn or sell. Saying that I do lock my cargo trailers, they do steal those because it's easy and hard to trace. I learned in gun license class, that I can't defend theft on my property because I am not in in imminent danger. Because of my background I have a tendency to watch people, without profiling.
