Securing toys when camping
I would like to get some ideas on how you lock down your toys when you pull them outside at a campsite. I realize that if the bad guys want the Polaris bad enough they will get it; however I would like to do something to make them think twice.
Do you use cables, or what else to secure them at the campsite?
Thanks!

Aztec,
I have never had a problem with anything but....I do use a cable to lock up my chairs, generator and sat antenna when camping. I always thought that would help keep the honest folks honest.
Cheers

Kimber Ultra TLE and I'm a light sleeper. Plus we do alot of boondocking in Nv, and subsequently don't run into a bunch of people.

Couldn't have said it better... Kimber 1911 .45 or XD Sub 9mm depending on what end of the trailer i walk out of.

We use a Toylok. It's a retractable cable that is mounted in a enclosed spool. We have the spool bolted to the frame. Works like a champ!

Can't say I've ever locked up anything here. I've got my Glock for when I'm around... but other than that, I figure that's what insurance is for.

We just use cable lock's for our bikes and generator. As TEXMAC said, locks keep honest (and semi-honest) people honest. If a bad guy want's it bad enough he'll get it!

Lippert retractable toyloc is a 100 bucks, memories of possibly killing someone over a toy is forever.

Cable lock the bicycles to the trailer. I don't worry about the other stuff.

Like others I have my Springfield TRP 1911 .45 acp wife has her Ruger LC9, and I always have the bug S&W M&P9 or the 12 or 20 Ga handy. Where we camp just taking out the keys has never been an issue.

We always carry when travelling, except for Canada and Mexico.
We have never had problems when travelling in our Class A, even when boondocking. However, with the Toyhauler and Polaris, we wanted input as to what others are doing with locking down the toys outside of the rig.
Thanks everyone for your comments...greatly appreciated.

I tie my junk yard dog up to my bike and don't feed him for a couple days. Works great.
