For a number of years I have locked my ukulele case when I was traveling. I would usually use a bike cable and secure it so something secure in the hotel room.
I recently did a little internet searching on bike locks and I was blown away by how easily thieves can steal a bike. This has prompted me to re-evaluate locking my ukulele.
Here is how I used to lock it...

After my research, I decided to use some of the chain I use for my bike. For a bike it is low security because it is only 1/4" chain with brass locks, but it is much better than a bike cable...

Eventually I will probably go to a bike u-lock, but I will need to find one wide enough to fit over the case and then add an end piece, like a pipe to get it snug to the case...

I'm not quite ready for RFID, but someday when it sends out a signal, it may be worth it.
