Vehicle Top Kayak Security - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Well I was hoping for more ideas and less commentary but thanks none the less for the thoughts...

I don't have any place to store the kayak. Small apartment, no garage. OEX and MCRD are full up. NBPL Sailing Center should be up and going for kayak storage sometime in early 2018. Currently the yak lives on top of the van. In 2014 I had a Stealth14 stolen from the top of the van. I'm trying to not have that happen again. I probably shouldn't have bought the new kayak but as you all most likely know, this shit is fun and I have missed it.

Quite honestly there is very little play between the kayak and the roof. I feel that it would be pretty hard to snip the roof in the current configuration or you would have to snip a very large section of it. My main concern is that the potential thief just jacks up the kayak when he/she trys to get it off. The van itself is of no real value. Its old and has been a storage unit with wheels for most of its time in SD. It is not my main ride.
