Is this product easy to steal?

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.

Ive never tried to steal one, :) but i live and work in the Bronx and the car has been vandalized many times, but the bumper bully never stolen. This model has steel in the straps to help.

I haven't had any issues. The velcro sticks well. In general, it locked into my Sebring well, and currently locks into my Elantra well. The closing of the trunk latches it tightly.

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.

Unless someone opened your truck, which is highly unlikely, then the answer's no. If someone were to cut it off, which would also be difficult b/c it has metal in the straps, it would render the bumper useless to them. I have mine in NYC (1 year) with no problems.

No. It's plastic. It could be broken with a hammer, pried open with a screwdriver, or easily stolen. It's intended for use by people who can't remember when to take their medicine.

I don't know. I purchased the product for resale and do not use it personally. Rob

I'm sorry, but you would have to ask the thief who stole it! I had sent it as a gift to my son and he was robbed. I had, however, asked him if he liked it and he said that he did like it and used it a lot.

I had zip ties on it at first before finally fastening with the included bracket and screws and no issues with theft. It's a great useful basket, but it's still just a bike basket...not sure it's worth someone's effort to steal.

Yes. thats the trickiest part, i used some long neck needle nose pliers to drop it in. It was in the box in a small zip lock bag.

Nope. I can be stolen. The distances are very adjustable to setting needed.

No, although my mailman wishes more people use this box. You would have to give your mailman a copy of the key in order for the mail service to have access to the box. This box really does work and we have not had any more mail theft issues since installation.

if you are worried about theft, do not count on this for protection. I secure it to the ground and my back yard fence but do not have to worry about theft there. I would imagine a thief could just pick the whole thing up and take it if they were motivated. It also would be easy to cut into. It is not very big, but holds all of my yard tools and equipment nicely.

I have used it twice this far and there have been no issues where theft would be a problem. I drove from LA to Yosemite, and just went camping last weekend. Used it both times I never had a concern that theft would be an issue. I think you'll be OK

That is correct. But I don't think the thieves are very sophisticated. My neighbor put real ones on his warehouse and it was still broken into. After he put up some fake ones with lights, no one has broken in. I chose to put a dark piece of tape over the light so it could still be seen, but barely. Good luck.

The product is secured - as long as you have a police report of stolen property and mail a copy of it. The protection plan will replace the stolen property.

Fairly easy. I never use my machines in this manner, so I may not be the best judge.
