The holder/clamp set up is foolproof....(providing you hear it click).....when mounting it.

I added this http://www.touratech-usa.com/Store/1...-Locking-Black so sticky fingers would not get off at gas stop/restaurant.

Not a showpiece add-on, but will stop a fall off or a walk by grab.

Also you should call them and ask for USPS shipping ($4.95). Otherwise you will pay $12.95 shipping for a 7 dollar part.

Same Here..How about some fishin line..

Must be a different mount, on the Handlebar Mount for the 660 there is no lock.

If you want really secure and ugly look at this.
http://www.touratech-usa.com/Store/P...Locking-Silver

And a other option from the Zumo forum see pictures.

Thanks, that gives me some ideas.

Well, for what the Zumo's cost, I don't want to take a chance.

You know, the more I think about it, it really kind of ticks me off that there isn't some sort of locking feature, or at least a place to attach a tether cord somewhere.

Oh well, if it falls out of the mount and gets ruined, they get to sell another GPS
