Short of using a lock to secure the cycle to a fixed position,nothing will stop someone from lifting the cycle onto a trailer or pickup bed. The 45-degree front wheel position lock will keep it from merely being rolled away. This is a problem with any cycle however. A secure cable through the rear wheel, attached to something that can not be moved or displaced is the best solution. Then all you have to worry about is someone trashing the cycle because thay can not steal it.
