My work just repainted our parking lot to have two "Hybrid" parking spots, both in front of the one plug that doesn't say "NOT FOR VEHICLE CHARGING". I am using this as permission to start charging at work (yay!). But plugging in this morning, I realized how exposed my plug is to theft. These things are worth like $400 and I'm supposed to just leave it lying around in a parking lot?! Reading the owner's manual, it says you can lock the plug with a padlock so that it can't be removed from the vehicle. However, the hole provided for this is so small I imagine it won't take a very large tool to break this lock. Does anyone have any tricks for this? I wonder if I could loop part of the cord around something inside the car and slam the door on it.

That's totally it. My routine is to push the trunk close button then walk to the door and press the exterior lock button. On my way back I probably walked too close to the sensor.

I find sometimes, seemingly randomly, when I start closing the trunk and lock the car, the trunk stops. One time I walked away while the trunk was closing and someone in the parking lot chased after me to let me know my trunk hadn't closed! Has this happened to anyone else? Any guesses as to what causes it or how to avoid it? If I could repeat it I could at least show the dealer.
