We used this method to protect the electronics of several aircraft at
the local flying club.  First thing every morning, management pulls all
the motions from the cockpits.  They're fixed to the headers with velcro
every night before the office system gets armed.  Each one has the
registration on the case, so that any alarms generated actually identify
the aircraft to the station as well as on the LCD keypad.
