Default Winch locks?

Does anyone know if there is a way to lock down a winch on a bumper? My Jeep is parked at a heliport for weeks at a time and I wanna TRY and protect my investment. Thanks for any input!

Here's some links for two different solutions to the problem:
Tuffy Security Products Bolt Locker
Factor 55 Winch Lock
Note: I'm not pushing Quadratec over other vendors, but their site does make it easy to search for things.

I was actually kidding about the receiver mount. Good theory, but I kept digging furrows with the damn receiver. Pulled it off after a few months and went to a bumper mount.

The tuffy option still allows you to use a grade 8 bolt vs going down to a grade 5 bolt.
