Pressure Pro question on locks

[Al]

Dan,
I am headed to my office today so maybe I have a package on my
desk. I did not order locks either. I believe you really don't need
them. If someone wants to steal the sensors, they would have to
already have the system. I say save the money and invest in a good
margarita.
