I just use an 18'x25' tarp tied bow and stern with a whole load of housebricks on the floor around it. It makes my boat look like crap so the thieves move onto something else...

Untill you get a gale that gets under the tarp and pulls it out from under the bricks exposing your nice shiney RIB for all the world to see...
