You need to be more sophisticated than that in this day and age. Having it down a hole with a bog standard jack, "locking" wheel nut and top plate is 3 minutes away from it being on a D lock, if you see what I'm getting at.Spokes wrote:Leaving rigs sitting on the top of a block ain't worth a wank jack em in a hole, plate the top and you might find that they stop eating you!

The point made was that hanging the rig underneath a jack, with a plate on top, and invariably a "locking" wheel nut welded to the leadscrew of the jack, would be a much better solution than "simply" chaining it to something solid on the roof. My argument is that it is equivalent to the old padlock and chain, or D-locking it, since these particular measures are so easily bypassed. The standard jack, top plate and "locking" nut combination doesn't gain you much protection at all in the real world and only adds a few minutes to the time required to get at your metaphorical £50 notes waiting on the roof.
Short version: a jack, top plate and "locking" wheel nut are in the same category as the D-lock and good old chain-and-padlock, i.e. inadequate in modern times.
