Use a good cockpit cover and fill the cockpit with an assortment of baby rattles. The noise of the rattles will deter thieves from moving the kayak. Of course you need to have the large signs. "Caution: Live Snakes Inside" prominently displayed on both sides of the kayak. On a serious note you be might be able to use one of those personal alarm sirens and rig it up so that moving the kayak would trigger it. I have also seen a sliding door alarm that responds to the door opening that you might be able to adapt. The major problem will probably be getting an "invisible" trip wire from the alarm to something fixed like your racks, but since you are mainly concerned about night theft it can most likely be worked out. Check with a local locksmith that specializes in security systems. Mark J.
