I have a shovel and a small axe behind the spare tire, I have padlock through the latch for the tire carrier. I have a toolbox that is only accessible through the tailgate it also keeps people from being able to access the tailgate and therefor tool box.

Don't lock it up.
Wal-Mart has 'mini' shovels in their home improvement area that I use and they are $7 - 10
Typically, I leave some cheap stuff that a thief could steal easily than stuff they couldn't and then they would potentially vandalize my truck. I'd rather replace a $10 shovel or a $50 hi-lift than a $300 tire a dickhead slashed the sidewall of when he couldn't snatch my shovel.

I found that mag-lite brackets fit some of the shovels I've got around.
For the most part, things like shovels won't be stolen... But I guess it depends on your neighborhood!

And the regular size QuickFists also work well. I have two on my front bumper holding the shovel in place. They have held tight for the past year and have been stored outside.

I'm mostly thinking of when I park in the woods and head out hunting for hours. The garbage dumping meth heads will steal anything that's not welded down. Hell, if they'll try and steal live copper wire they'll steal anything.

I've always had more trouble in the city and if you lock you doors they break out the window. I'll leave my truck at a trail head overnight. So far never a problem...however, I try not to get attached to replaceable items
I had a friend who lived in Bainbridge a long time ago. I didn't know that he was a dirt bag until he told me he just spent a weekend in Jail for stealing some ones camping tent. The guy saw the theft and had his camera with him. Ya never know.

They wont steal your shovel. My friend told me and proved in one of our "classy hoods" that a shovel means work and it will not go anywhere. He was right.

I keep mine inside a lockbox in the back of the cruiser. One of the plastic 'smart bins' from walmart. shovel is just going to get rusty and dull if you keep it out in the elements.

I'd like to do the same, does anyone have any pics?
Thanks

I've had a pick and a shovel laying in my work truck bed for over 30 years. No one wants to steal something that is used for work. Thieves are lazy bastards.
