I went to the National Enduro this weekend and someone tried to steal my bike. I use a cable and a handcuff style lock system. The cable was run through my gas can, stand and frame then back to a loop in the truck bed. What do you guys use when you have to leave the bike in the bed of your truck.

Have to agree.
At this point in my life, I'd yell at the thieves and then call the cops...if I saw someone messing w/ my stuff.
Taking another life is only a consideration when it's "Life Threatening" matters.
Wouldn't this thing just be ringing like crazy at a event? The GNCC races I do have people EVERYWHERE and I wouldn't want the alarm chiming all day and night.

Buy the viro locks as well.
As for anti-theft, they make a lot of economical GPS trackers. They wont prevent theft, but they’ll get your stuff back. I wonder if they work tho...

Just saw that Milton139 answered the question,He's right that's how I do it.
We race GNCC and only have ever had one instance when it went off by accident had are two bikes chained together alongside the trailer I opened the camper door and there was a skunk eating some garbage that was left from the day before I slowly close the door and shut it off for the night
you can also adjust the width of the sensor beam just by adding duct tape, if you leave the bikes in the bed of the truck overnight you shouldn't have any problems with false alarms the truck bed would prevent that.

Little tidbit for anyone attending any races or going riding anywhere close to Columbia, SC: LOCK YOUR STUFF UP or leave it with a friend at the track and still lock it up. That area probably has some of the highest bike theft rates in the country.
It's a shame because there's great riding there, and the Sumter Enduro is a great event that's really well done even the years it's not a National Enduro round. However, most of the people stealing them are looking for a quick "smash and grab" deal, so even the simplest precautions can help deter theft.
I parked the moving van with the trailer in the open parking lot next to our janky hotel right on I-10 in Coachella Valley. I angled the truck so you couldn't see the trailer from the road, but right underneath a streetlight so you could definitely see all around the truck. The bike was locked and piled behind a bunch of equipment and furniture so someone would have had to unload the whole shebang, plus cut the lock or cable to get the bike. It's all about layers of security.
The bike was still there in the morning. I feel like I lucked out, but sometimes you have to do what you have to do.
