Car-Top Locks for Kayaks?

I've only seen two products designed to help theft-prevent your kayak
when it's atop your vehicle: one you use like a regular strap but it
has a three-digit combination lock and one that lassos around the ends
of the kayak and slips under the roof rack rails to meet in the middle
where you lock it with a key lock. I don't really like the idea of a
combination lock (where's the peace of mind in that?). Has anybody
used either of these products or know of any others?

E-mail if possible.

Aircraft cable used as a dog run. Plastic coated stainless steal cable
with loops on both ends. Slip one end under your seat pass the other
end through the loop and around your bars and lock it tight with a
padlock. When you park undo it and pull one end of the cable into your
car and use the lock to bind it to your drivers seat.
You won't want the cable in your car while driving and the cable can
be taken with the boat and rack when parked.
Of course we have never had a kayak succesfully stolen in
Newfoundland. An island with three ways off with a kayak and one goes
to Labrador.
