While that is true, the thief who comes with that sort of tools is probably going to take more than just a generator. I just used a quality bicycle lock as locks only stop the armatures and we never lost one in many years of camping in remote areas.
generator most times = boondocking. That jeep guys or ATV guy drives by and see your empty camp as your out hiking. A
moment of opportunity, totally unplanned but it would be nice to have a gen while out 4 wheeling to run a compressor to air tires we aired down for the sand.
I ATV and have a small bolt cutter in my bags along with bailing wire, find an old fence I want through we go, cut and repair. Buddy I hunted with years left his TT in the woods unlocked most of the year, nothing inside worth the cost of breaking a window or prying a door.
I did 25 years LE and have arrested true burglars that carried "burglary kits" and the state actually had a law about possession of burglary tools:
Making or having burglar tools.
(1) Every person who shall make or mend or cause to be made or mended, or have in his or her possession, any engine, machine, tool, false key, pick lock, bit, nippers, or implement adapted, designed, or commonly used for the commission of burglary under circumstances evincing an intent to use or employ, or allow the same to be used or employed in the commission of a burglary, or knowing that the same is intended to be so used, shall be guilty of making or having burglar tools.
(2) Making or having burglar tools is a gross misdemeanor.
