Theft-proof installation [RE-wrenches]

[Darryl Thayer]

HI Andy
I think you might need a 2x8 or even 2x10 wall to
recess the SB I think your idea is good.  I would tend
to use two layers of plastic, first Acrylic be cause
of good sunlight resistance and underneath a layer of
polycarbonate, because it has tremendus inpact
resistance.  Both layers should be sunlight listed for
UV resistance.  

Have the bottom and top open so that air can flow up
the channel this may be just as good as a surface
mount in the open because the chimney effect will draw
extra air up the space. 

Use those one way screws to mount.  Have a remover for
service of course.
