Is there a way to stop settlers from looting containers in settlements?

I find it quite funny actually. Had created a museum with robot models , some outfits and a few nice looking weapons. One of the settlers has stolen the Kremvh`s Tooth 3 times . They don`t really take anything just for taking, they take things only during an attack. That settler had a tire iron equipped in his inventory so it`s understandable he wanted something better to defend his life. :D

In all my settlements I have a box where I put ammo and weapons I don't use. Anyone's free to take what they want.

I use the Hotkeys mod and have set up a remote container that I can access anytime with a simple hotkey. That's where I store stuff I want to keep and there's no way any NPC can access it to steal my stuff :)

I figured if I'm going to hit up settlements in the CK to add containers, I might as well use it as an excuse to push me to do the other work I want to do as well.

I'm doing the same to Sanctuary right now, adding fences, leveling terrain, replaced the bridge, removing a lot of junk and dead bushes, making it more suitable to build on.

and now with those containers I think I can finally make a settlement I can be proud of.

 

I'm also using that mod that adds decent roofs to all the buildings there, its basically in that mod I'm doing all my personal edits.
