I run a bicycle cable lock around the fiberglass seats and then
around my roof rack.  I frequently have 2 fiberglass sea kayaks so
the cable lock goes through both seats and around the roof rack.

boulter sells a pretty nice looking system that amounts to a cable lasso
that goes over each end of the boat and locks in the middle.

Another suggestion that I've seen is to use a "club", like is sold
to lock a vehicle's steering wheel, but use the "club" on the kayak cockpit.

Finally I have an insurance rider for both sea kayaks just in case they
walk away.
