Hi Paul!

Personal preference is a big chain and padlock along with usual mooring lines.. I can usually find somewhere to fit it ( tree, lamppost, railings etc..) I've never had to use it in anger, guessing the simple sight of chain and lock is enough to put off those 'having a laugh' and move on to an easier target..

We have not had the problem yet.. the only times we have overnighted on the boat have been at Longridge with the Scouts, and the Thames Valley Rally at Remenham.

The rest of the time the boat is in the marina or just out for the day.
