Ah, got it. Well, mine were strapped on when I left Denver and stayed on throughout two trips, which included stops in Grand Junction and Moab (2012) as well as Green River, Cedar City, and the bustling metropolis of Tonopah, UT and nobody's ever touched my Rotopaxes, so unless you need them for some extended trip into the 3rd world, I'm not sure locking them down is a real issue.
I mean, if you want something you can leave on the vehicle 24/7, even when you're at home, then I guess locking them makes sense.
To me, it's silly to haul your "expedition gear" to and from work everyday, but I see people do it all the time, I guess either because they're too lazy to take it off, or because they want to look "salty" when they're driving through the Starbucks drive in.
My thought is: When I'm going on a long trip (where I might need extra gas), I'll strap the cans to the roof, and when I'm at home they'll sit in the garage, so locking them is not a requirement for me. Having said that, you could easily run a cable lock through the hole in the middle and cable lock it to a roof rack if you wanted to. That wouldn't deter any serious thief but it might "keep honest people honest." ;)

The wiffleball batt thing is pretty cool. I guess I'd strap it up there too.
