Newbie- to the BGE do I secure it ???

Mexirican

so after years wanting a BGE I finally got one from a co worker who received it as a gift and doesn't need it. Or want it. & he doesn't cook. And   at an unbelievable price.  it's a small , so I put together a cinder block stand and the egg sits nice and secure . My question is theft, any eggs ever stolen , so do I chain it to my deck??? ,  I live in Chicago , not a bad neighborhood not the best, and my deck is exposed to the alley . Hmmmmmm the Chicago native in me will chain down but is it overkill?    Thanks a ton looking forward to my first cook.

Eggs have been stolen. Even larges. A small would be easier yet to still. I don't know what you can do to keep it from being stolen other than storing it inside after it has cooled down. 

If someone stole my eggs it would be on!

I think you could run a chain through the rear hinge.  Obviously someone with a wrench could disassemble and steal it but it might be a deterrent.

Why chance it?  Chain through the hinge as mentioned.  If they then take it, you will know they were serious. 
And welcome aboard and enjoy the journey.  A game changer.

I've got my large & small tied together with a cable & hefty so called cut proof master lock, if they roll one out the gate they are going to roll em both out.
