Lowest cost option:

Take the Security Screw (for comparison) to a good hardware store with a very good nut & bolt selection.  Find an M2 screw 20 mm long with a standard head, add a couple of nuts (screwed up to the head of the screw, to the top).  Then cut a small rubber hose section to fit over the top to turn it more easily & you have a Security Screw that is easily removable for less than $2.

Not a good idea to ride without a security screw in place - Zumo could fall off.

Never happened to me.........but.......

I remember some pictures on the Zumo forum aboput a year ago (d00D would know most likely) that showed a Zumo that had fallen off a moving bike.  It was a mess. 

The screw locks the top lid down.  Without the screw in place, if you hit a big bump while riding, it could knock it off.  Another possible problem is while reaching around the Zumo a hand (especially with gloves) could accidentally bump the top lid up & then the Zumo would fall out of it's mount.    Either situation is not a good one.  The screw prevents both.

My 1 1/2 cents (deflation).

It certainly happens to Tom Tom's, but I don't know of anyone that has lost a Zumo - yet!

Do you have insurance on your motorcycle/car/truck/life.  The screw is cheap compared to buying a new one.  Kind of like a lot of things in life.  Better to have and not need vs need and not have.

I didn't like the screw that came with it.(Actually I lost it) and when in Myrtle Beach went to a model airplane store and picked up 6 small scres for $5.00 then a mini screwdriver to go with it. The screwdriver locks in the screwhead so it doesn't drop out.As others have posted the Zumo comes with me when bike isn't in site. THE MUFFMAN
