What methods do you use to secure your rig when you're
at a motel or restaurant, etc?
Do you feel it's less likely to stolen or messed with
than a two wheeler?

I have the stock Harley security system on my current rig. In the past I have used the stock steering locks, a 6' chain lock through the front or rear wheel and bike frame, and a large padlock inserted into a front brake rotor to limit wheel rotation. Depending on where I was parked sometimes a combination of methods were used.
Due to lack of driver experience a sidecar rig is less apt to be stolen unless a flatbed tilt truck or trailer is used by the thieves.
If driven off they are quite easily spotted due the rarity of the beasts.
I secure mine anyway. Better safe than walking.

What about covering it with a trap, ie the less seen the better?

I just take the key out of the ignition.I think they are less prone to theft, but absolutely no proof of that.I also have insurance. If I was real concerned, I might add a rotor lock, they are pretty tough to overide (I think). With a 2 wheel bike the whole bike can just be carried away (4 guys with couple 3 foot poles). That wouldnt work with a rig.......

Would that be a bear trap, perhaps? Or a malayan tiger trap? lol
Lonnie, you've got eyes like an eagle and a mind like a steel tarp.
I think for a long time allready to put
just a little sticker on the tank saying:
Forget it what you are thinking. You will for sure have an accident within 500m.

On the rig there is not at all the need for number code, diesel interuption, mini PLC, high voltage generator (fried eggs and shift handle), 120 decibel wistle, central lock with 3/4" pin and pepper gas (into the drivers face) as I installed on my service van where the tools are way more valuable then the van....

The best theft securety is like it does Beemerchef:
Ara has Spirit watching the "his" bike.
People think twice getting nearer to a Pitbull Terrier.
My Golden Retriever / Irish setter breed is too sweet and jumps out, but our 12 year old lady Pincher / streat breed defends "her" sidecar preety well too.
