Security Anti Theft Bolt / Nut for Light bars?

I'm looking for ways to prevent or slow down a potential criminal from swiping my light bar off my car.

I've researched a few items and just curious what others have used.

These look like great options for the style of mounting I have, what are your thoughts?



Looks like rigid industries offers an affordable option here:

My buddy drilled a hole thru the bolt and added a small lock.
A couple tack welds is probably the best solution, but it is permanent.

Use cheap China light bars, I won't cry if someone steals my $40 light bar.

Make it harder to steal....

On my Jeep, I TIG welded a washer on the end of several short pieces (about 1.5 inches of stainless tubing. Then I put the nut for the lights and winch inside. Most thefts don’t carry the right size socket. If installing a bolt, use a Allen head or torx head and fill the head with epoxy. You can pick it out, with the right tool. Again, anything to make it harder, but not as permanent as spot welding it.

Year ago, my dad’s neighbor got his CB radio stolen. He told my dad his insurance would cover it, he’ll just get another one. My dad told him they’d steal that too. The neighbor shrugged. Sure enough a time later the neighbor came over and told my dad they got his radio again, but he was grinning ear to ear. My dad asked why he was smiling. He said they got his 6 pack of beer too. My dad said he still didn’t understand the grin. The neighbor said it was bottled beer, and he urinated in every bottle....
