I haul frac sand in NM and TX. I am needing a way to secure my hoses to the trailer to prevent theft. I have a tube I can lock for one of the 20' hoses but I have another 20' and two 10' that I strap to the fenders. Does anyone have any ideas as to secure these where they won't get stolen? I don't want to buy more tubes as the truck and trailer is not mine. I would however like to come up with a fairly easy solution to secure them. Any help would be appreciated.
How do I prevent my hoses from getting stolen

you could weld them to the trailer if they want it, they will get it

Don't know how big your hoses are for that job, but when I hauled hazmat chemicals, I carried a couple of leakers and always put them on top of the good hoses. Only hoses I had stolen were the leakers; once they had pressure in them, they started leaving puddles everywhere, then the thief driver had a chemical spill he had to explain.

Wrap a chain around them and put a padlock on

Put the train thru the hose and lock it. Or get a pit bull and tie it to the hose. Granted not mine she would lick them and try to play with the thieves.

Try a cable lock. Get the kind that the cable pulls through the lock so you can tighten it up as much as you want to. It's much harder to cut than a chain.
Here is an example.

Tell your Boss that THEIR EQUIPMENT is being stolen because THEY don't have a way on THEIR trailer for you to prevent it. Throw that problem back in THEIR laps where it belongs.
