Securing your boat and its cargo against theft is something a lot of people overlook. It’s easy to underestimate the danger: “It won’t happen to me.” “Nobody comes down my street or canal.” “My storage area is secure.”

I’ve heard them all. Unless you do something to prevent it, sooner or later, it will happen to you. The sad part is that securing your boat and its equipment is almost always much cheaper than replacing what they steal and normally only takes a little bit of your time.
