Expert Reply:
Since the Yakima HitchSki Snowboard and Ski Carrier for Hitch Bike Racks # Y02418 mounts to the Ridgeback 4 # Y02458 and Ridgeback 5 # Y02459 by using the bike cradles that are already on the racks, there is nothing on the Ridgeback or the HitchSki itself to protect it from theft of the HitchSki itself. With that being said, the best way to protect the HitchSki from the Ridgeback is by using a locking cable like the HandCuff lock kit # Y02466 (if it is installed on your Ridgeback) or by purchasing a etrailer Cable Lock # e98891 and looping it around both the Ridgeback and the HitchSki itself.
