D-ring thefts...
I just got myself at 14" crescent wrench, and then tightened the snot out of them. Then I tossed the crescent wrench in the back of the Jeep. It's kind of a PITA to get them open for actual use, but I don't see too many thieves wandering around with big *ss wrenches in their pockets.
Store them in the Jeep or tighten them up with tools. If you aren't, you risk having them vibrate off, especially on washboard roads. I suspect a lot of reportedly "stolen" ones were, in fact, lost due to such vibration.

I lost two on Tower Arch Trail in Moab a few years back. They were there at the beginning of the trail (one front one back), and gone at the end. Washboard road vibrated both of them off. Left the other two at the opposite corners in place.
