Security of flat panel TVs

think-pink

I have 2 wall mounted flat panel TVs in the house, and am trying to make them more difficult to steal - ie defeat the amateur quick "in and out" burglar. One idea is to replace the mounting and locking bolts (M4 and M5 15mm bolts) with ones with an unsual head requiring a special driver. Does anyone know where I can get these without spending a fortune? Any other ideas for making the TVs more difficult to remove would be welcome.

try these, once they are in they are in!!

You need a good hour or two and some knocking to get them out im told

However if they can't steal them, they may just smash the screen in frustration.

True. But my insurance will pay up either way!

Thanks for this link. These would do for supplementing the locking bolts on my large TV mount, although I still want to remove them myself every now and again without a major engineering operation. They would not be suitable for the smaller TV on a swivel arm where I need to replace the bolts which fasten the mounting plate to the back of the TV. No nuts used.
