Never had any problems. 3 stolen this year. It’s usually one POS that ruins it for everyone. I’m glad I don’t know who took em. I would most likely be in jail if so. The good Lord will take care of it
Most definitely a risk. Probably worth securing with a cable if you want to continue utilizing one on public. No doubt someone could still steal it but maybe they would have less opportunity with it locked up. Good luck with finding your thieves!
