I like those Factor 55's, but they are closed end so you can really drop a hitch lock in there. Nor do I feel like drilling out the hook and weakening it. Maybe I'll just sleep in there overnight, every night!!! 
Edit: Oh and what is stopping some a$$hat from cutting your synthetic rope and just walking with the whole shebang? |
Most hooks are removable, just leave it off until you need it. Mine is spliced into the rope, but I don’t really have to worry about theft where I live. The bad news is, if someone really wants to take your stuff, they will. The good news is, I don’t think winch hooks are very high on the list of “hot items”.
