Insurance. Have it covered for the replacement value, If it's stolen, pray they don't find it. You get a new tractor. If they want it bad enough, there is no way to stop them. Locks and chains just stop it from walking away. Put lowjack on the new one!

"You can buy a used shipping container for about $1100"
Nope, expect twice that for a 20 footer delivered. It was for me.

I greatly value the shipping container as a deterent for vandalism, theft, or unauthorized use. I believe the liability of leaving the tractor outside, even locked, is substantial.

You can not stop a determined thief, the best thing is to prevent the casual oppurtunity thief from easy pickings. If you must leave it out there in the open, try to find a good hiding place and maybe some of that camoflauge netting to hide it well.

Amazing what 2 gallons of oil based enamel will do inside and out. Olive drab, plus I have cut vents in to help prevent condensation. The box was delivered in very loud orange/brown with lots of big labels on it. Not very pretty but only skin deep.

Moveable too.
