Bolt and ammunition stored separately. Bolt taken with me when I leave the vehicle. Locked case taken indoors where I am staying.

I generally do the same thing, though with an alarmed cable lock rather than a chain and if I'm not using a hard case I thread the cable through the action. Also have those little action padlock things which live on the rifles when they aren't in use - might not stop a determined thief for too long, but for the small effort it takes I may as well put off any potential opportunists as well as covering them up and locking the car (which also has an alarm). Almost sounds a bit over the top now!

At a friends bach we used to stay in when shooting there was no gun safe, but there was a table made of solid 3-4" thick timber which we chained the guns to the supports of, that seemed safe enough.

All A-Cat though, not sure about any specific E-Cat requirements.
