Can you remove this and take it with you? Concerned about theft...

Yes, it has thumb screws and quick disconnect plugs If you are using the bracket. If you flush mount it no that is a more permanent install.

You would need a screwdriver to remove the main unit. I have never experienced a theft problem with leaving my unit mounted. You could easily remove the actuator button if you wanted to. It is held in place with a rubber band and there is a plug at the other end.

Mike, I bought this for my son, who lives in Queens, NY. He's had it for over a year and so far, there's been no theft. If it were easy to steal, since it is "out there" and visible in Queens, NY, I presume that it would have been stolen already, but that is all conjecture on my part. I really cannot give you a knowledgable, first-hand answer.

yes you can remove it and use the belt/pant clip...or just hold the item in your hand

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.

You COULD but only if you want to never move it. This stuff is for permanently affixing things together, not for things that you'd ever want to remove again.

I guess it depends on where you live :) For someone to steal it they would need two ratchets, one to hold the huge no wiggle bolt that goes through mount, into the hitch and then into a HUGE nut on the other side and 3-5 minutes of no one looking to work on it. I figured for the price of this, it was a risk I was willing to take and so far no problems. I think anyone who just walked by and looked down at it would think there was no way that thing is coming off easily.

I'm pretty sure you can take it out and put it back in. I haven't done it yet, so I don't know how difficult it can be.

Yes, but its built into the computer, so you can't take it out without taking it apart.

Yes the light can be easily removed from the mount and taken with you. Probably a good idea too if you leave it where someone could take it. It's a very nice light and very bright!

Yes you can. Mine is attached with one because when I had a different type of cover on it before someone took it. Not anymore!

yes it can be easily removed. i honestly do not even use it and it sits in the package

Yes, you can, just remove it and leave the other part in the back of it. When you use the bag, then you remove that part.

Not sure what you would do that unless somebody try to snatch it in your presence. Usually this is use while you are momentary away just like leaving a bike. If you don't leave your bike, no point of locking it. I bought three of these and they're pretty secure. Of course with heavy duty cutter can cut anything including a chain. It makes it harder for anyone to steal the one that has a secure lock. Choose the one exactly shown in the picture but compare prices.

I personally would not remove it, it is so small it could be secured very easily, if it were to tip over, the battery is a sealed unit

Hey Belle,Id say it is relatively easy to remove, but when I lock my bike up I have not had anyone touch those lights. I think they go relatively unnoticed by pedestrians walking by, unless they are lit up. So I wouldnt worry too much about them being lifted off your bike. I think you would be more likely to get the whole wheel stolen.

Not at all. We take it out every time we stop along the way so that no one is enticed to steal it. Only taek a few seconds to get it out/in. It is a little difficult to reach around to the backseat and blindly put it back in if you wanted to change a dvd along the way.
