Is there a way to lock it to the car to prevent theft?

The straps have hooks that basically sit inside the seams of the hatchback and would require the hatch to be open in order to remove. I suppose someone could just cut the straps, but that would render the rack unusable. If the intention is for you to lock the bike to the rack and the rack to the car, thereby locking the bike to the car...the answer is no. This is no way to actually lock the rack to the car that I can think of.Having said that I used it on a trip across US (Boston to Tx to San Diego) and never had a problem leaving it and bikes overnight in parking lots.

No. They can just cut the straps and take it. If you are in a sketchy place definitely take it off since only fabric straps keep it on. It is very secure when attached. I have left it on all night. But if someone was determined they could easily get it off your car. My advice is to lock it up inside a car or preferably a house.

Highly unlikely, otherwise thieves would do the same thing.Also, it is not recommended to use more than one of these per wheel (use the lug nut complete system instead).

There are holes in the top plates to put pad locks on it. But truly it would only stop a lazy thief. best coarse of action is to not leave bikes on it over night or for extended periods of time.

There is a USB cable that you can plug into that comes from the back of the unit. You can route the cable into your glovebox if you want it hidden or have it come out of some part of the dash.

No locks on this at all. You would have to secure it with the bolts that secure the license to the vehicle.

no there isn't a lock, but the front wheels do turn and that might keep it from rolling.

Yes they could take off the wheel Replace it and steal your car. Most thieves would pick an easier target.

There's not really any way to lock it since it is just an elastic cord around the edge. Not like some soft covers that are able to lock with a small padlock.

I have a large key in mine with a small key ring to slide the key out. Because the top turns off of the lock box the key can only slide in and out. If your thinking of putting in a key that will start your car. I do not recommend it. Have a door key made at your local hardware store. This way you can unlock the car door if your main key is locked inside.

Lock your tail gate and no one can get to it. If some one wants to steal it there is really no way to prevented it.

Yes, that's possible. I attached the key to my car key and haven't had a problem but I'm assuming someone's done it.

I gave this as a Christmas gift last year, and I don't remember if there was a way to put a lock on it or not.

Kind of yes because although they are steel straps they stick to the inside of the car only by velcro which may be easy to pull out. In my case, I made a cable (out of a metal wire with plastic casing), looped it around one end (near the velcro straps) and used a padlock to secure the other end to a hook inside the trunk. This may prevent people from pulling it out.

The lock is very versatile,however, I used mine as an Anti-Theft mechanism for my car cover.

Unfortunately it does not have a lock. You would have to lock it down with a small pad lock to secure it.

For most cars you can get a key made for the door only, which is smaller. I use that and lock my other set in the car.

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.
