Re: [Paddlewise] How to prevent theft?

I think installing a floodlight with a motion detector would help a lot, and
maybe some tied on cow bells.  Chances are it was some juvenile delinquents
that ripped off the boat.  With a canoe you could get some hardened steel
chain and chain the boat to an old engine block or similar immovable object.
On kayaks, augment this with telescoping square sections of steel tubing
(the heavy stuff with holes along the sides) which are slipped in and
extended along the interior, then locked with a hardened steel linch pin.
