Anti-Theft Measures?

[4tiresngas]

I will have to drive my truck from Kansas to Georgia in a few months. It will include one over-night at a Holiday Inn somewhere along the way. What can I do to help insure my truck is still in the parking lot when I get up the next morning? My wife suggested I actual remove a tire and put it on a jack stand. Are there some simplier measures that could actually deter someone who saw my truck as a target. I know a number of members have had trucks stolen. I keep mine in the garage, but I have to get it home for storage before the Army moves me to Italy for 3-years. Any ideas welcomed.
