How do I protect a snowmobile or jet ski from theft in the off season?

Off-season theft is a slow-motion crime: your sled or ski sits untouched for months, so a thief can take it in October and you might not notice until December. The fix is making it hard to take and impossible to take quietly.
Get it out of sight. A covered machine visible from the street is an advertisement. Store it inside a garage or shed if you can; if it lives outside, use a plain gray or black cover, not the branded one.
Immobilize it. Pull the battery and the key or tether. For trailered machines, add a coupler lock and a wheel lock so the whole rig can't roll away.
Anchor it. Chain the frame or trailer to a ground anchor or a concrete-set post.
Document it. Photos, hull ID or VIN, and your insurance policy up to date.
Then solve the "months without checking" problem: a magnetic GPS tracker snaps onto any steel frame — sled, ski trailer, whatever — and sends your phone a motion alert the moment it moves. The battery lasts roughly 9 to 12 months, which conveniently covers an entire off season. If it moves in January and you're not the one moving it, you call the police with a live location.
