I put a hose clamp around the side of the hinge that lifts out. It's not theft proof but a thief probably isn't carrying tools and might pass on it just because it isn't a quick grab and go anymore.

My old man took plastic bags, hit them with a blow-torch, bondoed over it and would reglue the windshield in his 1990 Cherokee for years... Most rusted out cherokee I have ever seen.
