One can also drill a small hole thru their handle and use a small, PSA style, luggage lock (I chose a bright yellow one). This keeps it from disconnected from the charge port.

The two methods combined would be very effective deterrent.

Probably even less likely than someone taking the EVSE, but something super easy and useful to have on hand. Eg:
