No but a sheet of plywood to keep rain directly off the generator is
all thats needed.you could lay it on some concerte blocks or some
such might sink and concrete a round hook in the ground and chain the
generator with a lock, idiots will steal anything.

chain and lock is a deterrent, if they want it bad enough its gone
no matter what.... chain around frame on truck.

dont laugh its happened before.....


A load of 00 buck will also slow them down a bit.


The local prosecutor was on a radio show saying that using deadly
force to protect property was not warranted under Maryland law. I
could not resist the temptation so I called in and asked if he really
thought he could get anything better than a hung jury out of such a
prosecution. The shows host said he could not imagine impaneling a
jury that would convict someone who shot someone who was trying to
steal emergency supplies or equipment. All of the subsequent callers
seemed to agree with the host.


Who's to say the owner did the shooting? Maybe it was a fellow thief who
wanted the stuff and got scared away? You never know, long's no one's
looking. Course, you never know who's looking eitherg
