Is there a way to secure it to the tire easily, to prevent theft of the product?

I use my bike lock chain for extra security. I just tightly wrap it around my tire rim.

I used a small chain and pod lock so no one cannot just take it out with out cutting the chain.

I sometimes go for a run in the park after riding my bike. I use a cable lock fed thru my tire rim to secure the bike and rack to it. Doing the same to just the rack should work for your purposes. I hope this info helps, good luck! :)

I have a bike lock to the spare wheel and the frame of the bike rack. You should also have a wheel nut lock to prevent theft on the whole wheel.

Mine is the simplest and similar to another poster's method. I just use a bike lock and put it thru the handle, then attach it to whatever is close and available. Yes, this is very minimal and is just somewhat of a minor deterrent, but much better than nothing.

There's a lock washer on the inside at the bottom that secures the box to the mounting bracket. Theoretically, you'd probably have to break some portion of it to get it off the bike without opening it.

Yes, there is a metal tab attached to the cord above the unit. I attach a length of chain to it, wrap it around the power pedestal and put a padlock on it. It certainly is not theft proof but it would slow them down.

yes, just unbox, maybe add air to tires and away you go....I did check mine out on a bike repair stand and found all stuff tight like it should be!

We bought a ( two actually) long strong cable combination lock and run it through the pair of grippers, since we have two on each side of our truck. this probably wouldn't deter a very determined thief, but we feel better having them locked up.

It can of of course,it's just screws holding it. It can be stolen over a course of a couple minutes though.

No, you can't lock this one at all. The straps are the only thing that secures this rack to the tire.

Yes it has a ring with a L-Key lock which prevents a person from easily unscrewing it off the tyre

I only use it to hold the bikes so they are not sitting on the tires. I guess you could if you bolted the rack really securely to the wall. Any type of lock is just a determent, if they really want it they can get it!

I would assume it wouldn't be to hard if you could remove your tire to install it.

Yes it can be, there is a latch on it for a master lock so that your spare tire is secure.

The steel reinforced straps are meant as a deterrent for thieves trying to cut the straps (or make it difficult for them from doing so and it's not worth the effort). How did you have yours stolen? Were they cut? I have mine secured in such a way so that the straps go into the wheel well for the spare tire. You can't pull it out (I've tried).

there is an adjustable security bolt ( with screw threads and handle) that mounts through bike rack tube into backing plate. This draws tube up against spare tire and than if spare is flat against steel wheel (white) rim. place washers on security bolt to shim if necessary so tube will not be bent

whaaaat? Confucius says, The best way to prevent people from stealing is to prevent yourself from buying nice things that people will steal. But if you want a more simplistic answer...park your car inside a garage, superglue them on the wheels or I highly recommend getting 4 wheel lock clamp boots to protect this shiny investment. Good luck.

I just used this lock on my spare tire on the mounted on the back of my 1983 Nomad RV since the tire might be an easy steal. The lock covers the lug nut as I recall and seems to protect it from thieves. Of course, a hard hit from a ball pean (spelling?) hammer would probably remove. This keeps casual thieves walking away. Not sure if this helps your situation. Most rim holes are the same.

Hi, I have never been in that situation before bit the little chalk block that comes with it should cradle the tire. So you should be fine bit extra precaution doesn't hurt either. Hope this helped answer you question.
