Traveller rear door hinges

I notice that the bolts holding the hinges on to the frame have the nuts on the outside,
thinking security (is this a thing with minors?) anyone could undo 4 nuts and open a rear door,

other than tapping the threads over to prevent removal has anyone got a better solution?

Coach bolts with the heads on the outside maybe.

I don't think that a potential thief would take the time or trouble to undo four nuts and wrestle with a heavy door to break into your Traveller. Much more simple to smash a window to gain access. In 46 years of ownership it has never occured to me that this could be a potential problem. You could use a thread lock if it makes you feel better.

perhaps im overthinking it,
its common on Landrovers for the doors to be removed by taking the bolts out of the hinge, but then thats to nick the door,
