    Understand maybe... how ever I do not share your concern. Not in the extreme that you seem to be concerned about it.

    Hopefully the guy with the tools stealing the EU doesn't get run over by the guy with the coat hanger stealing the truck.

    I'll tell you what is odd: spend 3k and put a padlock on it.

    I am concerned. It is the most expensive generator, the best also.
    Local, hauling auto parts. Ford, GM they let you sit in the dock for hours, but no idling allowed.
    Why? Don't know, lines shut down, no parts, machine broke down uff....
    And when everything is working, they don't want to work, they take long brakes.
    Sit and wait. 80 degree weather hot and high humidity, or 0 degree cold and...
    You understand now? It's not only that,
    is warming up your engine block in the winter, or charging your batteries, or running your power tools, charging your power tools.......

    So now you're trying to sell the usefulness of a generator to a guy who already has one? Hurst was right, you're an odd dude.

    I don't know. That's why I don't have one. But I would expect to see some chain around it or some U BOLTS welded on the bottom. Your setup is too conservative. I don't think it will work for me.

    I will chime in. I just purchased a Honda 3000 and a 8000 btu in room a/c. Total cost $2400. You have not interjected anything useful except to incite an argument. If your so worried about someone stealing one. Quit hanging out in those area's. I have never met a smart thief or one that will have to work to much to steal. Or someone who doesn't contribute anything constructive.
