Nobody has mentioned anti-theft hardware, like bolts and nuts that cannot be removed without specialty tools, or are one-way on, no off.

Ever look at the bolts in a phone booth? They are pan-head that require a hex wrench with a hollow end. Just an example.

I know these cannot guarantee stopping thieves, but they can be an excellent, and relatively cheap, deterrent.

What kind of experience have wrenches had with anti-theft hardware?
