<br>
I was at a site today that had four out of the 50 modules removed recently by thieves. Can anyone recommend a good alternative to the Unirac hardware?<br>
I mean like tamperproof security hardware?<br>
 It has T-bolts with top clamps utilized. Of course it is a ground mount and is easily accessible.<br>
