Does this come with anti-theft protection like some of the other models? (I am not in NYC)

You have to register it within $15 and mail in a paper form and check for $1 for a year, $10 2 years, $15 for 3 years, etc. It is here: http://static1.squarespace.com/static/51e6e76be4b066098f51193e/t/52dffb44e4b04b86e2441235/1390410564709/onguard+lock+anti_theft+registration+formNEW.pdfThe packaging says anti-theft and lists $1501 for bikes, and mentions nothing about requiring you to register within 15 days (with receipt) and paying for it. Pretty sneaky on their marketing folks.

Yes. You can read about the anti-theft policy on their website. http://www.onguardlock.com/anti-theft The model number of this product is 8015.

It's been a while since we purchased it. Since I don't know if it has anti-theft protection, I'm guessing it doesn't. We received the lock which works for a single bike and a cable for locking multiple bikes together. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

No, at least the one I purchased a year or so ago did not. But then I tucked it into a place that was protective. If you like the product, perhaps you can guard it in this way if you so desire.

Yes it does ... I ordered an extra one just in case. I've had it for a year and a half though, use it daily, and still haven't had to change it.

The one I purchased did. However, I'd ask the seller if you don't see it described in the description.

Yes it does. I highly reccomend it. Be aware that people might try to steal it. I use a small padlock which is better than nothing....enjoy!

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 just downloaded the product manual. It does not have an edge guard that runs along the curb to protect the blade from hitting it. For that reason alone I am buying the Black & Decker model.

I have that one and it does have it. I don't think they can make a safe with out a backup key. The battery can run out. In the front panel at the bottom of the number pad there is a small cover with 2 screws. The key access is hidden behind that. Not very obvious and for good reason I would think !

Mine came with one similar to this : http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003TY3COK/ref=cm_cd_asin_lnkbut had more leather down the front and back for protection.

Yea.. Maybe some models do and the reviews are lumped together, and I actually bought it thinking it did, but in fact it does not.. Just had to run home because I forgot to turn it off and I was unsure. Now I am sure, it doesn't.Giving it away and getting something safer.

The one I purchased did not. There might be another sub-model on Amazon (or seidio's website), but this did not.

No, the one I bought actually with a slip on case in the retail packaging. It's a small black magnetic case to protect from scratches rather than dropping.

I don't think that it is theft-protected. It is very easy to remove from the trunk of the car, if desired, with out opening the trunk at all. I tried and succeeded. If you are worried about the area you live in---I'd take it home for the night, or just remove it and put it into the trunk. This bike rack is easy to install/remove.

This would be an excellent anti theft device. I definitely recommend. That was the reason I purchased mine.

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.
