Hahaha this tactic was my downfall and loss of sleep for one nite in anticipation of a repair i didnt need to do in end the next day and I caused the fault....yup too right fumes can get it.....im still gonna see if i can remove any bolt or screws close to the lock, make a modified washer pass bolt back through and see if i can use that as loop to thread through rope or in the past i used semi flexible electrical cable to tie it down...i'll revert if i have a brainwave
