There might be an obvious answer to this question, but how do people keep their barrow safe when fishing overnight sessions, particularly at venues that are not totally secure? Hide bits of it in your bivvy?
I have a friend who got his barrow pinched from the car park lake at Yateley a few times back in the day when he was on there.

You could remove wheel put it in bivvy , chain to near by tree or fish somewhere safe if its not safe at lake
One of the lakes i fish has several in the carpark for members to use not chained just left there

I've never had an issue with this to be honest anywhere I've fished but I always try to leave it next to my bivvy, not behind it if possible.
Chaining it to something is the most obvious one, alternatively some set up using a spare bite alarm and some fishing line so if it was moved it set the alarm off?

When i used to fish dodgy places, id remove the handles of the trolley and just wrap a bungey cord round it to my bedchair or bivvy peg , any one moved it id be awake. also tryed to keep it between me and the lake so i could see it as soon as i was awake. Unfortunately on day tickets etc you just have to make your gear less attractive to thiefs than everyone elses, sad but true.

I use a Fox Explorer Deluxe and just take the handles off and store it inside my Tempest brolly alongside the foot of the bed.

Buy a garage grenade clip one end to bivy and the other to a tent peg
Shame we have to consider this sort of stuff when fishing.
Can you fold it down and stick in under your bed chair? The middle bit towards the back perhaps? That or a chain or bike lock round the frame and then under the bivvy and round the bedchair was a good idea.

Take the wheel and handles off and stash at the back of the bivvy, the folded up frame fits under my bedchair.

You can buy portable pir alarms. I've just bought 2 to secure my gear on a not to secure lake.
Just search amazon or ebay for portable pir alarm.

I take the wheel off and a single handle. Figure it's the most awkward shape/size to run off with this way.
