I wouldn't think they are too safe just hanging there when you are in a store or somewhere unattended. Trailer hitches have, or should have, a loop to either side of the receiver. These are for safety chains when towing a trailer. I usually just use a typical braided cable, looped through the bike frame and one of the safety chain loops. This secures the bike to the vehicle and not to the rack. A thief would either have to cut the cable or climb under the car and remove the bolts that fasten the receiver to the chassis. -- Scott Loveless http://www.twosixteen.com/fivetoedsloth/ __o _'\<,_ (*)/ (*)
