I have mine locked up in my shop and today I got all the makings of a suicide cord.
I have a friend down in Kentucky that a few years ago they went through a good 4 day power outtage, and there were reports of Generator theft. What they were doing was taking a lawn mower, and starting up the lawn mower, and then shutting off the generator, so it didn't wake up the occupant. He ended up putting the gen back in the garage at night (not running) and always said that if someone was that interested during the day they could always say hi to his .38
