Thanks

I have drilled the bolt and used a castle nut and split pin.
You can buy security bolts, allen heads with the pin in the centre
Mind you the allen key costs a small fortune

Unless you spend about $40 bucks on the fasteners nothing much works against a full on thief but tamperproofs deter the opportunistic ones that only have a shifter or a multi tool
$20 (or free to shop lifters) gets you a set of drivers for almost every common security bolt in use, tri-wing, security torx, security allen etc

Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

I use Lightforce security nuts on the spotties and the light bar is on the roof so a pain to steal. The Lightforce ones are good but someone with a pin driver and hammer will remove them with some effort and noise.

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.
WARNING: Towballs used for recoveries can, and do kill people and damage property.

You could mount a truck battery in the back for sole purpose of making your nuts and bolts live, would deter people from trying again
Or put a extension cord that you can hide, plug in to 240v over night sometime touches it it's going to hurt and they won't do that again

Maybe even drill a small hole in the end case of
the light bar and use some loc wire as a deterrant

Unfortunately setting a 'man trap'
will result in a lengthy prison term.
And accidentally killing your kids is a
frowned on, just a little bit too.
My advice is: not to follow my advice.
