Roof Box Theft

In my experience theft isn t too much of a threat considering kayaks are tricky to steal being so big difficult to transport and most of all hard to sell locally.

Roof box theft.

I just installed a roof storage box on the car in advance of an upcoming trip. Each fully adjustable rail clamp has anti theft keyed locks. Most importantly a rooftop cargo box minimizes visual obstructions for the driver. The vehicle must already have oem raised roof rack rails to mount these universal fit 60 in.

Not only can it match your trunk s storage capacity but it s a secure place to stash dirty gear as well as snow covered skis snowboards boots and helmets. Because the attachment to the roof bars is locked inside the roof box it is impossible to remove the properly closed roof box from the car. The cargo carrier is easy to install and it maintains the same built in lock. More product details close.

They re so unique in models colors size etc. Googling didn t find anything. To mount the box you don t need a thule roof rack as it can be used on all types of roof racks from any manufacturer. I ve heard there are thieves who specialize in these and carry master keys.

And kayak isn t so popular so unless the thieves take it to an entirely new city to sell it back chances are you or someone you. The crossbars have a rated capacity of 150 lbs. Fits vehicles with raised roof rails up to 55 in. The roof boxes are of course made of plastic so a determined thief with tools can break one open.

My questions are these. A cargo box can be hitched to the back of a vehicle mounted to the trunk fastened to the bed of a truck or mounted on the roof of an automobile. Most cargo boxes require a roof rack system too. Of all these options a rooftop cargo box keeps the surface area occupied by your car to a minimum.
