Curious about the winch being stolen.

Hiyas Folks:
A little comment from somebody at work got me to thinking. I just installed a warn front and rear bumper with a Warn Powerplant HD winch in the front on the FJ. One guy at work just off handedly said "people have been checking out that winch, got it bolted down tight?". Of course I do to spec. I was thinking about either tacking the bolt heads with a small spot weld on one side of each bolt. Or building up some epoxy to cover the bolt heads to make it alot tougher to remove it. As it sits the stock way. It doesn't seem to be that hard to unbolt it and cut the wires and replace them. Of course they wouldn't have the remote but could order one. With the right tools at hand I can take it back off in a couple of minutes. Anything to slow somebody down from removing it would be great.
Just curious as to what any others have done to make sure the winch they have stays with them.
Also thought about drilling holes next to the bolts and putting in some taper pins.
Any ideas on this subject?

Ziggy
