I have rod racks on top of my car and I often keep two rods up there. Almost all spring - fall. So far I have not had any problems. I leave them up there when i go shopping, when I sleep and for most every other time. The only time I make sure that I do not leave them up there is when i go fishing or I am going into the city or to a fishing town like New Bedford, Fall River etc. I like to have my rods at the ready whenever I might all of a sudden find I have have a free hour to wet a line. I do not even think that the best rod racks in the world will really keep your gear safe from theft, even with a lock. Just use common sense and if you have any concern at all just break them down and shove them in the car while you are away from it. But, my main point of this is that I think you will find that they are safer up there than many people think.
Good score on the rack
