    Yup a 20 and a 10 just outta the mud and into the cab. ( not) I have never had any of mine taken and I have a 5' and a 3' strapped on back. But the cable lock idea is prolly the best shy of additional tubes.

    Rolling up a 20 footer especially in the winter LOL, I was wondering if I was the only one who noticed that.

    I would like to see someone roll the hoses we use. It's all you can do to put a bit of a bend in them.

    believe me when I say this is my favorite solution. I just don't want to have to live in the truck to catch someone stealing from me. I actually get to go home from time to time. Glock

    Sounds like my pit. Sad to say she is a terrible guard dog.

    Thanks for all the replies. I think my best bet would be to try the cable locks.

    Have to agree there, only ppl that would want these are other sand haulers, and if they are taking them while you sittin on standby you got bigger problems lol. Id put lots of cowbells on the hose when you park then you'll know haha

    My favorite idea, followed closely by letting the company deal with it. If it's your equipment, and you're just leasing the trailer, I'd go with a cable lock. If they really want it, they'll get it. Put enough stumbling blocks in their way, they might move on to an easier target.

    Put some identification on them so if they use them, your name or companies name will be seen in bright red letters. Perhaps even add,"These hoses were stolen from ____________."

    Acid-etching company name into the ferrules or the aluminum fittings also might be a good idea.
