    At home I use a Rott and a Black Mouth Cur. Plus a AR15 in 5.56 thats a tack driver from 50-200 yds. Not afraid to shoot my truck...

    On the road. Lock it up or .38
    Oh and that insurance thing....

    Those glad hand locks are snake oil too. Give it a good kick. They'll break. I've personally put a drill bit up through a kingpin lock to open it. There is no secure. Only secure-ish

    LoJack helps for piece of mind too
    Google it.

    Park it in the yard at the house. I do use fuel tank locks only because I got them cheap on ebay. KW original or I wouldn't have bought them. I think the best is an improvised one. Transmission won't go into hi range. Key wired through a switch somewhere. Anything that we require thought and time. Crooks aren't going to spend a long time attempting a theft and risk getting caught. Unless they are somewhere that they have all the time in the world. JMO
