I've checked the dreaded www etc, but nowhere have I come across any locking systems to stop our lighter finger bretheren from removing CB etc antennas/aerials from bull bars or other external mounting points. I must be using the wrong search words?

One of these might do the trick. ;)

Just needs the antenna cable to be disconnected from your radio...

Try some thread locker (i.e. loctite)

OR

I believe Mobile One Communications sell antennas / mounts with a anti theft screw thingy.

Good luck

'Tis a bit hard to lock down the average UHF CB antenna but for HF, scroll down on this page: HF Radio Antennas & Accessories (http://www.lakecomm.com.au/hfant&acc.html#mb)

loctite... something like 690 should do it.

Loctite isn't such a good idea as you reduce the contact between base and antenna.

Just take it off when not in use....
