I live in ellwood and have mine chained to the gas main - I figure if anyone wants it that bad we can all go together.... But seriously - its pretty easy to find a place to store your kayak - just ask around and see if any of your friends have space in their yard, invest in some chain (make sure it is sturdy but thin enough to fit through the self-bailing holes) and chain it to something solid. Just make sure you keep it out of the sun - i cover mine with a tarp i got at kmart - that way the plastic wont degrade from the uv.
