If left (empty) on top of the car overnight at a hotel, would it be easy to steal or is it pretty secure or can it be locked on?

In my opinion, if the unit is folded down in the storage position with the cover installed, it would be difficult to steal.No, it can not be locked on. With some ingenuity you could adapt it to lock.

With a pocket knife or razor blade you are in in 30 seconds. That said, this is a great product

Using the installation hardware and directions supplied, it could be removed by two people in about ten minutes. There is no locking mechanism, although something more secure could be devised by a clever, mechanically-inclined person. We have not had a problem with it, and have loaned it to several relatives for trips.

If someone knows how it works they could easily steal it. We have never had any trouble though.

There is no way of locking it on the vehicle. We returned ours because we didn't find it to be waterproof.

Sorry, but this topper is made of fabric/heavy plastic windows, so I don't see how it can be made theft free. Our son has a fiberglass topper, but even that topper, if someone wants in it can do so. But we love this topper. It is not as heavy as our son's fiberglass top, so you'll save on gas consumption. It keeps all our belongings when traveling free from the bad weather. Hope this helps.

No. You'll need to get the pin. I'd suggest a locking one so nobody steals it!

You can adapt a lock that goes on the hitch, but now the question will be, What keeps a thief from simply taking the whole car?

Technically yes, the red part is like a key so you can take it out if you want and if you somewhat hide the location of the switch it would definitely be tough to steal. I have had friends try to move my car and they just thought the battery was dead until I showed them where to the switch was.

The cover itself does not lock. It clamps from inside/ underneath. If your tailgate locks, it's fairly secure. Of course, if a thief really wants in, the could cut it open through the top.

It is held on to your luggage rack or other mount by 4 bolts through the bottom...don't see how it would be taken on and off very easily particularly if you have the lights wired. I haven't taken mine off since I got it for that very reason...just too difficult.

Love the cover, but there is nothing built in to prevent theft. Hope this helps!

It is not going to tip or anything if you do not bolt it, but a safe really should be bolted down. It only takes a couple big guys with a furniture mover to steal the whole thing.

No. While nothing is 100% thief proof, they will need time and tools to defeat the lock strap. And also, it depends what you are locking up. The strap would need to go "through" something like a handle, frame, etc.

I haven't had an issue, but then again, I don't park and leave the bag on top and unattended. Haven't tried the lock.

I purchased a cable lock at the safe store where I purchased the dorm safe. It has the ability to be secured to a pipe, furniture, etc. Place the safe out of sight i.e. Under the bed and attach it to the bed frame. When things go missing in a dorm room it is because the stolen item was left unattended in full view. We have had this safe for a year and it has been a smart investment for our college student.As a parent we need to set our students up for a successful year and teach them to secure their valuables.

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.

Yes. When you flip it in the cargo bed be sure to lock your tailgate. That's what secures it so it can't be stolen.

There's not any way to lock it on your car. To do so would be at risk. It is relatively easy to remove and attach though.

I have had no problems with mine getting stolen, leave it on my bike 24/7 and ride my bike everyday. However if you were worried about it you can take it off with a screwdriver and break it down to store elsewhere. Not sure how many people are walking around with tools to take it off your bike though. Hope this helped.

1. It can be stolen easy2. The idea is to fold it and to put in the trunk (it is very foldable).And yes, you can leave it on.
