Look in an auto parts store where they keep the vanity plates and frames. I do believe they have Allen wrench screws and other security screw setups that make it not impossible, but a bit more difficult for the bad guys to take your frame. If they want it, they'll get it, but the mere fact that it might take them a little longer may be deterrent enough to have them pass on you next time. Sucks goose ***** that they got you though. Sorry to hear.

Curious: HIN?

Ooo, good idea. Do they come in various sizes? Say, small enough for use in securing an amp in the trunk. Might be gravy. What do you think?

There should be two clips that clip into the plastic, and then the screws go into the clips...those big screws you can use A big bolt, Hex Screws... Lowes..
