I recommend using thin cable and crimpers to anchor them to a spot. This is not so much to limit theft, but to give them legitimacy. Newspaper stands across the country are teathered to streetcorners with this method. You can look a little suspicious carrying the "bolt-cutter" style ferrule crimpers, but a pair of large pliers works fine too. Awesome!

My community newspaper just ran an article on people taking furniture and appliances from the curbside garbage and how it actually costs the city money. Granted these are small furniture items that don't need special pickup but for bigger items it is a criminal offense as the city contracts outside companies to pick them up. And when they show up and the item is gone, they still need to get paid. Love the idea and the post but it did make me think of that article. Funny you mention this Charlie.
