JD E120 theft deterrent options

[rav3]

Guys, I have an E120 JD lawn mover that I'm trying to come up with something that would be a good theft deterrent. As it is, anyone could pull up into my drive, walk behind my house & just drive off or push it into a trailer & drive off. What have others done to try to reduce the risk of theft? Any good tricks you can share besides disconnecting battery or plug wires that's not too complicated?

Find better neighbors. I installed a Battery Disconnect on my Tractor that is very inconspicuous.

You could keep it in your garage or a shed.

Pay close attention to who is being elected around your community, state, and nation.

The horizon doesn't look good, and the US House "New Forward Way Act" may be what is coming . A scary read.. Sorry for this intrusion into the TBN

If you have a seat switch, you could unplug it, though a smart thief might discover that.

Welcome to TBN. Unfortunately a person that really wants to walk off with your rider-will. Pulling the fuse will keep one from starting and driving it down the seat. Once. A tough cable lock will work until that is defeated. I suppose that you could bang it up, thrash it and make it look like an abandoned, broken rider. . .

Best you can do is to slow them down. Consider a steering wheel lock or a wheel lock:

Insure it. Call your homeowner company.

Seems a small shed would easily pay for itself over insurance premiums quite quickly. AND pay dividends keeping the mower nice.

Way over priced insurance or a real cheap shed for that to be true. He may well find it is already covered with a good homeowner policy but at most doubt the price will be anything as you are implying.
