I was never seasonal but I did leave my trailer set up for 6 weeks for 2 summers at a campground. I never had a problem but throwing the toy lock through the grill wouldn't hurt!

That nice a grill would be locked to a large tree. BUT as you said a cheaper wally world for the campsite would be just as good. BUT still chain it down.
Where you thinking of summering? if you don't mind telling close to your house to run home. I am trying to think of camping spots around the Fayetteville area.
You know you have a great spot down in Tabor City,NC Yogi Bear at Daddy Joe's campground. Greet place if you kids. That would be a close place for several weekends once you are traveling while camping weekends are for kids and BIG kids too.

We had our Coleman grill stolen at the Port of Brookings Beachfront RV park a couple of years ago. They also stole some coolers and chairs from other rv'ers.

Well I broke down and bought a weber 1200 grill that fits inside my storage so I can easily secure it, problem solved!

Thanks everyone.

A couple of years ago we had issues at a park we were at for about 6 months. We were warned by the neighbor as we set up. I put a couple of game cameras in the window and got pictures of the kid trying to get our bikes that were well chained up. Police would do nothing park owners could care less so we made wanted posters and put them up everywhere. They crawled under the fence by pushing on it so everybody put their dog and cat poo there from then on.

Justice and prevention can take many forms. I despise thieves.

Using alittle sticky wheel grease applied on areas where people go thru/over or under is a way fish/wildlife helps keep people out of where they post no trespassing signs. And is real funny when checking the area and people had grease all over their hands and pants. I asked where were you? Ho just over there we never climbed the fence. Yea right, here's your ticket. They only went that way once.

Think I might leave my old one at the campsite this year.

Might save me from taking it to the dump.

perhaps this is more common in seasonal sites but really lets not get paranoid.
I have been in campgrounds for many years both in the US and Canada and have never had anything stolen. Quite the opposite, people have always been friendly and helpful.

Don't ruin your holiday with worries that likely aren't founded, enjoy the experience and if once in many years you lose a 300 dollar grill, look at it as a chance to get a new one.
