Aside from the part about being in the back of a pickup, I think the same could be said for any moored boat. Anyone with a trailer can grab one.

With that said, although I don't have the opportunity, I am not sure I would put my PWC on a mooring. Not out of fear of it being stolen, but out of fear of it sinking. Maybe just paranoia, but there just seems to be too many ways that water can get inside a PWC. And it doesn't take a whole lot of water to bring it down and fill the engine right up.
