How do you secure it being removed (stolen or cut off) from the car overnight?

Very good question. I took duct tape in the color close to the bumper guard & wrapped it around the guard where I felt it should be secured & it came out as a nice design & secured the Bumper guard

Yes you can do so if you really need to if you are certain that nobody will nick it or if you have a closed private garage for ur car... Its really easy to unhook it from the car so if your neighborhood is a notoroius one I would not recommend it

this is a lock box to store a key,it would have to be secured somewhere on the car I wouldn't advise it

No, once it's in place you can leave it there. The only time I removed mine was to use it in a rental car while on vacation. Warning - don't leave it in the rental car like I did.

security cable attaches to the bottom of the seat base or any stationary place to prevent theft

No don't remember one. I bought a lockable pin and have had no problems with it getting stolen. Also, the lockable pin kills all the wiggle, so there is no shimmying as you drive:Trimax T-3BLACK Premium 5/8" Key Receiver Lock Rugged BLACK epoxy powder coatThis Trimax pin is like $13 bucks, and totally worth it.

Someone else commented that it takes alot to remove this and I agree. Anyone trying to take this will be spending a bit of time trying to remove it. As suggested, tamper proof nuts would seem like a good way to go. A long shank padlock would probably fit over the crossbars and rack and lock it on too.

You won't be able to just pry it off, without risking damage to your dash. It can and I did remove one with adhesive remover. Work it around the edges with q-tip. A real light oil will work also.

It comes off wth a key. They supply you with two sets of keys to remove it and store in trunk while you drive. I don't recommend driving with it on the highway

There's a small cutout section on one of the corners. Pry on that cutout and the back will come off with some pressure. Don't worry, you won't break it.

Yes, you could lock it, but a pocket knife will cut through the material. You better off taking it off at night.

Buy separate tie downs (bright colored ones - for night time viewing) and park in a place that you can see the car. I just drove cross country with this and had no problems- I made sure to park in visible sight of the car though.

It can stay on, but I wouldn't recommend it. I parked out on the street overnight and somehow someone was able to steal it right off the car without damaging my car. Hope this helps.

Not really theft proof but they do have a set screw that takes a small hex wrench. If you did not loosen the screw you probably could twist the valve stem caps off of the stem with some force. It might damage the stem the Tyredog caps or both. It sort of falls in the category of "Locks keep the honest people out". I would call it "Theft deterrent". Of course without the display unit that is inside the car the caps are useless and vice versa for you if the caps get stolen.

Yes, I had my cover stolen. I replaced the cord supplied with SS cable. I put a loop at each end and used a padlock. It works great!!! Good luck.

Anyone can steal it if they tried. Just use extra lock tight and make sure it's very snug. You may have the wrong bolt.
