Might as well put the canopy on the plane too in the hangar if you got that much free time.

Loose chocks which is what the OP I think is talking about. Wheel stops which are permanently placed are a separate subject. I notice those who chock wheels in a t-hangar also put cowl plugs, pitot sock on and lock the plane. These folks typically wear both belts and suspenders.
