Stay in a nicer park?

I never secure mine. Bigger things in life to worry about.

Have had some sort of dish since the 90's. Never had one even moved (except by wind on WA coast)

I always put ours on a little plastic folding table to keep it off the ground. Then, one night, the park we were staying at had 2 of the maintenance golf carts stolen. Since then, I've used a chain through the handle and draped over the lower leg brace of the table. Thieves are everywhere.

When I first got my tailgater, about 5 years ago, I was worried like you. I went to Walmart and in the pet section, I bought a wire coated 20 foot Dog stake out cable. Maybe 10 to 15 bucks? I cut off the un needed hardware and use the cable to attach the King to something secure. But it depends on the park, didn't use it at the last park I was at for 2 weeks. Remember you are only attaching to a plastic arm, so it's a deterrent at best.

BSammy Screamer Motion Alarm

Look this up on Amazon. This looks like it may work for you. Now that you have me looking this has many uses.

Never had ours messed with. There is an alarm you can buy that will go off if it is unplugged. We have one but never use it.

That's a pretty low grade connecting cable, probably not good for HD. Needs to be RG6.
