Thanks to everybody for the ideas. I'll be using a combination of
several.

I WAS serious about using grade 8 or better bolts on the left handed
ones....A thief in a hurry will twist them off. Trust me. I've seen it.

This is assuming that a thief is smart and adept enough to know which way to
turn a bolt or nut..

Trust me I have hired guys off the street that didn't know which way to turn
the wrench, especially if they had to reach underneath to reach the nut..

Not everyone is raised around tools. Especially a thief..
