cattle hurdles. Will they be stolen

We are thinking of setting up a handling pen with cattle hurdles and leaving them in the field set up. Its in the middle of nowehere. How likely would they be to get nicked? Is there a way of marking them to make them less desirable? There are a few farm thefts in the area
 
Never mind the pen. How easy are you making it to round up the cattle and take them?
Whatever pen I have up there makes it easier for someone to round up animals but there's nothing I can do about that. It's for rounding up off fells. I need at least a semi permanent set up

Crash barriers are an option but I've found it really hard to find some that will deliver there here at present.

I can easily get gates or hurdles next day. Just concerned I might as well leave my credit card in the field.

How big a pen do you want?

3 meter lenght of M20 threaded rod HD galvanised is about £11 + vat

Cut in half and its similar money to buying galvanised locking pins.

You would have to put extra nuts on to protect against cordless/petrol grinder.
