Default Securing my ATV?

Looking for tips on securing my ATV. I plan on storing on the trailer under a shed in my backyard. Plan on a trailer coupler lock as well as chain and lock from the ATV to the trailer. Any ideas would be appreciated.

So. Calif. is prime territory for theft of both bikes and trailers alike. Thieves can steal someting, and have it over the border into Mexico within a few hours. I frequently leave my bikes on a secured trailer, with no problems!!!

I use nothing but the Kryptonite "Fahgettaboudit" New York chains and locks, to secure the bikes to the trailer, and I also secure the bikes to each other. For the trailer, I run Kryptonite 3000 New Yourk U-locks throught the spokes of the wheels, and a New York chain through them and wrap it up around the axles (double axle trailers). Use anything less than the Kryptonite New Yourk stuff, and you will lose your bike!! And, back that up with an insurance policy.

We all have guns nobudy steals anything around here and nobudy asks what happend to the ones that tryed.I leave the keys in both the quad and my truck that it sets in alot of the time with no fear at all but that,s why I live were I do. The 3 S,s go along way. But I do keep mine insured never know what could happen.

Try buying a gun and treat the problem not the symptom. The symptom is theft the problem is you give them no fear or reason not to steal or work for that matter.

I would suggest a protected by Smith&Weason or BROWNING or what ever gun you have put a sticker displying them and hopr that you have insurance because there easy to replace if somebody wants them they will get them one way or another good luck.
