Expert Reply:
What you would do to deter theft of the bed extender # BX4004-02 is to use security type of hardware. Something that requires an uncommon specialty tool to install/remove. That would secure the mounts that attach to the tailgate. To secure the extender to the mounts you would have to replace the pins that hold the extender on. Something like # e98887 or a similar lock could work.
Or something like the Toylok # LC337120 is another option. It would also be good for securing other items stored in the bed.
